Life on Mars: A Short Story Collection

By Patrick Ryan

Book Overview

Welcome to Life on Mars, where strange and funny join forces to confuse, delight, and occasionally disturb you, in the best way possible. Inside, you'll meet Mexico's most notorious killer named Feliz Navidad, get an uncomfortable peek into the logistics of dating a pornstar, and find out what happens when Prince Charming hires a foot fetishist to locate his mystery woman from the ball. Yes, that really happens. No, I'm not proud of it. Each story clocks in at around 8 to 12 minutes, so if one makes you question your morals or your sanity, don't worry, another one is right around the corner. Think of it like speed dating with emotionally unstable fiction. In Life on Mars, I tried to tackle life's big questions: What is love? What is truth? And in a parallel universe, could the most delicious food on Earth really be a bag of dicks? By the end, you may not have answers, but you will definitely say, "Those were words on pages." This book might make you laugh. It might make you cry. It might make you question why you picked it up in the first place. But when humanity is finally given the chance to ask God five questions and completely blows it, just remember: I didn't mess up Life on Mars. This is exactly how I meant it to go. So enjoy. Tell your friends. And seriously... get that damn Mars Rover off my lawn.
