Holy Shit!
A miraculous machine has been invented that allows experience to be recorded. Unfortunately, its owner—VTV (Violence Television Inc.) plans to use the product to record and broadcast pain, suffering and death. Harvey Futterman, the machine’s inventor, suspects that the machine may also help induce enlightenment, and to set things right he endeavors to steal back the machine with the help of a motley new-age terrorist organization.
At about the same time, the world's major prophets make their long-awaited return. Jesus, Moses, Buddha, Mohammed, Krishna, and Zarathustra all show up at a New Years Day Parade to introduce themselves and declare Judgment Day. But after narrowly escaping an angry crowd of disbelievers the bewildered prophets are forced to rethink their strategy. To execute Armageddon in a more “with-it” fashion, they hire the CEO of Violence Television himself. And so it will surely be an event of apocalyptic proportions.

Abyssinia
Wake up and smell the catastrophe.
The sun never sets upon gigantic Biddenbrooks Coffee Inc., but if tiny Undergrounds, the last independent coffeehouse in Los Angeles is to survive, it must find a way to bring the empire to its knees.
Roy Makonnen, an Ethiopian Jew and owner of Undergrounds not only has his business at stake. He and Morris Bidden have bad blood going way back. Both are guilty of murder and only Bidden knows where the bones are buried.
But Roy has a plan to bring down Biddenbrooks: He and a cadre of loveable losers are on a mission to find the legendary strain of coffee that will reopen the doors to Eden, a secret bean that will change humanity forever. It is their only chance before losing the last keys to a fading world of poetry and paradise, a place where magic still thrives despite waging a losing battle against the bleak realities of the modern world.
You are what you drink. Order with caution.

Big American Breakfast
Cynical Jake Rippy is fresh out of college and sour already. After finding out he has only years to live, he travels around the globe searching for a “cure for the common.” As is often the case, the cure is worse than the condition.
Mixing it up with sages and psychopaths he ultimately stumbles upon a cult of ecologists bent on destroying civilization. And it is there that Jake finds his true calling: to employ his monstrous cynicism in saving the world from those with good intentions.
Big American Breakfast is a buffet of hashed ideas, served with a sprig of cyanide, slathered in a sauce of the strange. Read it with a delicious grain of salt.
