Pope! by Louis Zambrana

Pope! by Louis Zambrana

The crass and sometimes volatile Pope Zamorano I is dead, and now the conclave to select a new pope begins in Vatican City, Rome. The righteous Cardinal Lawrence Byrd is selected to oversee the conclave of mostly unholy Cardinals with high school-aged maturity levels who are constantly stabbing each other in the backs or playing childish pranks on one another. Cardinal Abebe of Africa, who is in the minority of good Cardinals like Cardinal Byrd, has hopes of becoming the first black pope, while Cardinal Tortellini of Italy wants the church to maintain the tradition of Italian popes. Join the wild cast of wacky Cardinals like Cardinal Stubblefield, the first Cardinal from Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and Sister Roberta, the nun who speaks loudly and carries weapons in her nun’s habit. Pope! is full of irreverence and supernatural surprises that will keep you laughing until the final vote!

Horrible Women, Wonderful Girls: A Jaycee Grayson Novel by Julie Ann Sipos

Sipos’s sharp, irreverent narrative explores addiction, reinvention, and the chaos of toxic workplaces—all wrapped in biting wit and unpredictable turns…Readers will be eager for the sequel to this striking debut.—Booklife at Publisher’s Weekly

Freshly fired and on the run from rehab, Jaycee Grayson is a kids’ entertainment exec with no filter and nothing to lose who’s about to turn Littleburgh, Wisconsin inside out on a no-holds-barred search for the truth behind the pastel perfection of “Wonderful Girls,” the world-famous doll company.

Confronted with a tangled web of secrets, power plays, and Prairie Karens, Jaycee isn’t here to play nice. She’s here to uncover the myth of the “Wonderful Girl”—who made it and who profits from it? In Littleburgh, nothing is as it seems—not the town, not the legend, and definitely not the women running the show. Jaycee Grayson’s quest for identity will have you laughing, gasping, and cheering through every twist in a sharp, satirical literary debut that skewers hypocrisy and celebrates authenticity with one foot in chaos and the other in courage.

From Hollywood to the heartland, this audacious literary thrill ride offers up stiletto-sharp wit, misfit mayhem, and scathing commentary on what it really means to be “empowered” as Jaycee shines a harsh light on performative feminism and corporate fairy tales. Don’t miss an all-new literary adventure that’s as fearless as its heroine.

Tales of American Idiocy by P.R. Infidel

Tales of American Idiocy by P.R. Infidel

“Soon the humans will all wear muzzles and be chained to their homes by their great glowing boxes!”

This announcement by Chester stopped the meeting of the pets of Sunnyside Street cold. Not that they were surprised by the neighborhood conspiracy cat. Chester was full of odd ideas, most of which he announced at inopportune moments.

Chester would turn out to be right about COVID, but he is just one of many Orwellian critters and supernatural shorts populating these Tales of American Idiocy, a darkly humorous collection of short stories commemorating the early 2020’s. Here you’ll find President Brandon’s sketch election. Dwight the alligator will fight forced COVID injections. Delilah the deer’s own “Dr. Foxi,” gets his just deserts, and Black Lizards definitely Matter.

Will Chester and friends’ warnings make repeating the early 2020s unthinkable?

If you like clever allegories, not-so-crazy conspiracies’, and darkly humorous satire, you’ll love Tales of American idiocy, a work Bookviral calls: “A cuttingly Allegorical Read!”
