14 of the Most Terrible Children's Books Ever Written: Part 3 (Rejected Children's Books (Funny Books For Adults))

14 of the Most Terrible Children's Books Ever Written: Part 3: The One Where We Stopped Even Pretending By volume three you would think Brad Gosse had run out of bad ideas. He has not. This compendium collects fourteen of his most requested adult parody books into one volume, illustrated in the same cheerful cartoon style as the previous two, applied here to subject matter that previous editors at previous publishing houses would have quietly walked out of the room over. Inside: Camel Tony, Dad's a Cuck, Dead Babies 3, Furious George, Help Me Step Bro, Mom's Tinder Profile, My Homophobic Dad, Race Wars, Sex Offenders, Sex Toy Story, The Cat That Shat, Thirst Traps, When Parents Go to Jail, and Your Life Is a Lie. These are real titles. We did not make any of this up. Brad did. This is the third compendium, which means this is now a franchise, which means at some point we all collectively decided this was fine. It is not fine. It exists anyway. Every book inside uses the same trick as the first two volumes, innocent cartoon art delivering content that is anything but, except this time the gloves are fully off and several specific institutions are going to have opinions about that. This Book Is For You If... You bought volumes one and two and are already disappointed in yourself, so why stop now You believe nothing should be off limits if it is funny enough to justify the discomfort You want fourteen books worth of material that will get this listing flagged eventually You already read a few of these titles twice just to make sure you read them correctly You are the friend who always pushes things one step further than everyone is comfortable with This Book Is NOT For You If... You read the title Race Wars and felt your jaw physically tighten You believe satire has limits and you have strong, specific, well-documented opinions on where You work somewhere that monitors your Amazon purchase history for some reason You are still recovering emotionally from volumes one or two of this exact series You plan to buy this, read three pages, and immediately write a strongly worded review Perfect Occasions for This Book The one friend group with absolutely no remaining boundaries and no plans to set any White elephant exchanges where you have decided this is the year you finally win A gift for someone who has read everything else and needs something that goes further Collectors completing the full trilogy because apparently that is a thing people do now Your own shelf, because you already know exactly what you are buying and why Look, Just Buy the Stupid Book Same price as a dinner. Vastly more content. Vastly more consequences. This book gets handed around a room and the room gets quieter and then significantly louder. Someone will read a title aloud, pause, and decide whether to keep going. They will keep going. Fourteen books means fourteen separate opportunities for that exact moment to happen again. Brad Gosse has now done this three times. There is no version of events where he stops here. This compendium exists because the first two sold, which is either an indictment of the market or simply how books work. Buy it, give it to someone who has earned it, and let Brad keep doing whatever this is. He clearly is not going to stop on his own.
