Overview

Birthing a microwave. Breaking up with a male meter maid. Confronting a fellow bird with a lazy eye. In Bedtime Stories To Read To Yourself If You Like Dreaming About Stupid Things, Joe Gerlitz explores the ridiculous, peculiar and seemingly unimaginable. What exactly did President Lincoln have living inside his top hat? How bad does it suck to be the tandem bicyclist who has to always ride in the back? Why don't more doctors force patients to wear a dog cone? All of these pressing questions are answered in Gerlitz's writing debut.

...Disturbing, terribly bizarre, extremely difficult to comprehend and hilarious to anyone attempting to digest just what exactly happened. Steve Martin's Cruel Shoes meets Gary Larson's Far Side...Awesome. A heavenly combination. - Mike Sacks, author of Poking A Dead Frog Deeply funny and profoundly weird, I never knew where this book was going, which made the journey all the more fun. Through a series of absurd situations Joe somehow manages to expertly describe life's subtle beauty. - Luke Burbank, Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!, CBS Sunday Morning In comedy, it's hard to work clean and still generate real, true belly laughs. It's even harder to do so in such a truly unique comic voice. Joe Gerlitz has that rare ability to thread the needle of total absurdity and absolute hilarity, and it's not a stretch to predict Bedtime Stories will likely wind up being prized alongside the likes of Cruel Shoes and Deep Thoughts on the bookshelves of true fans of the genre. The only thing I don't like about the book is that I can't say I wrote it. - Glenn Rockowitz, author of Rodeo In Joliet and Cotton Teeth
