Showing results for "Hero" in Satire

In a world that absolutely never happened… Former Prime Minister David Cameron leads a double life — and not the sensible sort involving spreadsheets. By day, he nods through meetings, tries not to break doors, and pretends to understand briefings. By night (and occasionally mid-press conference), he becomes Britain’s most unlikely superhero, battling exploding crumpets, villainous scarves, sentient paperwork, giant ducks, and a cat who is frankly far too magical for government work.

A-list actor Peter Compton and producing partner Marci Levy exist in the rarefied air of Hollywood’s elite. Their status as a married power couple is unmatched, their presence in any room transformative and god-like. But as their private jet lands in Atlanta to begin production on a tentpole superhero movie, even their privileged position will come under threat by the massive pressures of such an undertaking.

In the backwoods town of Possum Trot, trouble’s brewin’—and only one man has the duct tape, moonshine, and guts to fix it. Meet Hill-Jack Bob: mechanic by day, redneck vigilante by night. When a shady corporation threatens to take over his town with mind-control soda and political corruption, Bob and his oddball sidekick, Possum Boy, rise up in camouflage, homemade gadgets, and a superhero vehicle built from junkyard scraps.

While writing my book, Donald Trump Adventures: The Demonrats, I introduced the characters Alexander Dracul, Doctor Van Helsing and ace news reporter Alicia. It was just that I had ran out of ideas for more political humor, satire, I needed to fill my book and the fifteen individual filler short stories about a vigilant vampire fighting crime just seemed to fit. Now Alexander Dracul says goodbye to the Demonrats and spreads his own wings in a book that is all about him, his friends and allies.

She was once a whimsical wizardess solving magical mishaps on children’s television. Now she’s navigating midlife, burnout, and the absurdities of modern life—one disastrous spell at a time.

Tom Brantley is a complex superhero (or perhaps an anti-hero) who discovers he has the unique power of psychokinesis whenever he's drunk or high. Revered as Burlington City's guardian, Tom loves putting on a show for his devoted fans while saving lives and fighting crime, almost as much as he enjoys partying and indulging in vices. Despite the citizens encouraging his reckless behavior, his family and friends are increasingly concerned about his declining health.
