Cloud City Press launches their newest book at Common Good Books

The stories in MP Johnson’s The Final Failure of a Professional Small Animal Insider-Outer and Other Stories transport the reader to a world where the grotesque is taken for granted and humor abounds. A young man tries to take his profession as a sculptor of small animals to new heights. The washed up creator of a beloved children's television series struggles against a B-grade spanish horror movie director for the soul of his creation. And a disaffected young man in Wisconsin travels through time (or not) with the assistance of the severed head of an extraterrestrial he discovered in a dumpster in order to save his future daughter's life. It's the stuff of nightmares, but the kind that leave you laughing in your sleep.
