Publisher Description: Thirteen Sick Tasteless Classics, Part III is a zany collection of famous short fiction' stories given new adult' spins. Author Jay Dubya gives entirely new interpretations of American literature' works "The Cop and the Anthem" by O. Henry, James Thurber's "The Dog That Bit People," Mark Twain's "Lost in a Snowstorm," Stephen Vincent Benet's "The Devil and Daniel Webster" and Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat." British literature is not spared bombardment with scathing satires of Saki's "The Interlopers," H.G. Well's "The Time Machine," W.W. Jacobs' "The Monkey's Paw" and Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Pardoner's Tale." Norse mythology is thoroughly broadsided with a new adult rendition of "Beowulf" and Greek mythology is also attacked with a new humorous version of "Theseus and the Minotaur." The French short story is not spared as Jay Dubya presents a new witty corruption of Guy de Maupassant's "The Necklace," and Spanish literature is also blasted with a funny spin put on Miguel de Cervantes' "Don Quixote Fights the Windmill." |
