Private dick, Ace Anvil, while investigating the murder of a physicist has found a machine that sends messages back in time. Naturally he wants to use it to play the ponies, but instead, he finds himself on a collision course with philosopher assassins, homicidal artists, fanatical vegans, murderous skateboarders, mercenary Baptists and lethal librarians. A lesser man would give up, but Ace can't; a dick is all he knows how to be. Besides, his girlfriend needs new shoes.

Unbelievable Books

So you think you have problems? Maybe you’re schizophrenic, manic depressive or suicidal. Perhaps you just lack the motivation to floss as often as you should. Okay, we’ve all got problems, but the animals in this collection of short stories really have problems. In fact, you could say they have issues. They cope with rejection, addiction, jealousy and egomania to name a few. Some have a persecution complex or are afflicted with existential angst. They are most certainly misunderstood. Each story is a bit of a mystery. The animal’s issue might be obvious, but not what the animal is. You have to guess. Every vignette is only a few pages long so no looking at the ending. That’s cheating. If you have to cheat at animal stories, well what can I say, maybe you have more issues than these animals do. Just saying.
