About me:
I write bizarro books and stories. If you've read any of them I'd love to know what you think. Feel free to email me at andersenprunty@yahoo.com. To learn more about me and my upcoming projects, or to read some free fiction, please visit my website at andersenprunty.com.
NOW AVAILABLE
THE OVERWHELMING URGE
Description: It is a world where men wake up with laser beams for eyes and wives play sadistic practical jokes. It is a world where body parts randomly fall off and fathers turn into antelopes. In this world, vampires and spontaneous combustions are a
constant threat. THE OVERWHELMING URGE is a collection of bizarro flash fiction, containing ridiculous characters and absurd stories reminiscent of David Lynch and Franz Kafka. Written at knifepoint in a burning room, this book will make you think of a dirty
comedian raving from Freud's couch.

Here are what some people have said about it:
"LOADED with humor that at times had me laughing out loud." Nick Cato, The Horror Fiction Review
"If you like weird stories, you'll have fun with this." Jordan Krall, author of Piecemeal June and Squid Pulp Blues
"These shorts roll over the reader, drawing a haplessly logical audience further from shore or any other recognizable reference point." Jennifer Barnes, Raw Dog Screaming Press
"This book is... Kharms on acid. This book is really, really fucking cool." Ash Lomen, Raconteur and Elder Statesmen
"Mutants, multiple stories of people taking dumps, and enough absurdity to choke Andre Breton." Jess Gulbranson
COMING SOON:
JACK AND MR. GRIN
Description: Jack Orange is a twentysomething guy who works at a place called The Tent packing dirt in boxes and shipping them off to exotic, unheard of locales. He thinks about his girlfriend, Gina Black, and the ring he hopes to surprise her with. But when
he returns home one day, Gina isn’t there. He receives a strange call from a man who sounds like he is smiling—Mr. Grin. He says he has Gina. He gives Jack twenty- four hours to find her.
What follows is Jack’s bizarre journey through an increasingly warped and surreal landscape where an otherworldy force burns brands into those he comes in contact with, trains appear out of thin air, rooms turn themselves inside out and computers are
powered by birds. And if he does find Gina, how will he ever survive a grueling battle to the death with Mr. Grin?
Advance Praise:
“When Mr. Grin calls you can hear a smile in his voice. Not a warm and friendly smile, but the kind that seizes your spine in fear. You don’t need to pay your phone bill to hear it. That smile is in every line of Prunty’s prose.” Tom Bradley, author of Lemur
“Just imagine David Lynch directing an episode of The Twilight Zone.” Jordan Krall, author of Piecemeal June and Squid Pulp Blues
“Suspense like a 747 in an empty cockpit nosedive. With each new twist jamming the imagery throttle deeper into the titanium of my rapidly melting cranium... Utterly mind fucked!” Bryan Lewis Saunders, author of Sex, Drugs and Institutions,
musician/performance artist
“With Jack and Mr. Grin Andersen Prunty firmly establishes himself as a master of the bizarro thriller. Fans of the absurdist/surrealist mysteries of David Lynch and Barry Gifford should seek this book out immediately, and keep it in a dark place.” John Edward
Lawson, author of Sin Conductor
“Jack and Mr. Grin’s set-up had me expecting a totally-surreal ride, but most of the body of the story actually plays like a standard thriller. Prunty's writing is well done, and just when I thought Eraserhead Press had somehow released a 'normal' story, the
third section of the book dives head-first into surreal-bizarro land, packed with odd settings, brutal violence, and some minor head-scratching that cleverly unfolds at a fine pace.” Nick Cato, The Horror Fiction Review
“With Jack and Mr. Grin, Andersen Prunty has enjoyably distilled the brutal tropes and excitement of the best of Stephen King into one stiff shot.” Jess Gulbranson, author of Mel
