Customer Reviews

A book of gems

For the short story lover this book is a treat! My absolute favorite is Dirk Snigby,s Guide to the Afterlife. E.E. King's delightfully irreverant approach to the hereafter could only insult those completely lacking in a sense of humour. Cant wait to see the movie!

Will Ferrell HAS GOT to read the Dirk Snigby short!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THe "dirk" short is simply too clever of an idea not to get picked up. After seeing "Stranger Than Fiction" I think Will is the man for this role! All the gloves off......this could be HYSTERICAL.

Great stories that entertain

I really enjoyed this book and found all the stories delightful, especially Dirk Snigby. Cudos to all the writers for their imaginative work.

Dirk Rules

This collection of short stories is brilliant. I can see why they are heading to Hollywood. I am especially looking forward to seeing Dirk Snigby on the big screen. Way to go E.E. King!

A great idea, well executed!

This amazing short-story collection both promises to give Hollywood green-lighters terrific material, each of the stories is an entertaining read in and of itself. Kudos all around!
