Description
Insane-O-Tron is a hilarious trip into the absurd and surreal, with stories about a family-themed TV show gone wrong, inter-species dating, a talking haircut, trick-or-treating with a candy wizard, magical dancing ponies and an earwig’s day trip to the gutter. These stories are insane!
The title story, Insane-O-Tron, is about two best friends, one a man, the other his haircut, thrown into the middle of a plot to stop humans from ever existing. As they battle a lunatic scientist and his fast food employees, they attempt to travel back in time seventy two million years in order to save their future.
In The Family Family the former golden boy of TV comedy, Scott Scotterson, is tasked with reviving a failing TV show, by turning its family-themed plots, from wholesome and boring, into crude, over-the-top insanity.
Mallard Quackenbush explores the anxiety and paranoia of a father as his only daughter prepares to go on her first date with a duck.
Terry is the story of a small plastic pumpkin and his best friend Billy Skids. It’s a tale of friendship, of bullies and the glory of Halloween.
In The Perfect Day, Ernie the earwig takes a summer’s day trip to the warm, scum infested water of the gutter.
Brave Pony pits an awkward and socially outcast pony named Gooch against the deadliest threat Pony Land has ever known: a fire breathing dragon.
Advance Praise
"A boldly inventive trip through one writer's uniquely twisted mind. This is absurdist comedy at its best. It's a page turner by virtue that you'll be wondering just what Alverson comes up with next. You'll never read another book like Insane-O-Tron and there may be no higher praise." Self-Publishing Review, 4½ Stars
"When reading Nick Alverson's work, I frequently found myself marveling at the inventive way he twisted and turned his tales. He is a true creative, a story-teller for sure. If I had to sum up all the stories in Insane-O-Tron in one word, that word would be FUN! Read and enjoy at your own risk!" Tracy A Fischer for Readers' Favorite
"Wow, these were some of the most creative stories I’ve come across in a long time." Jenna Brewster - Indie Book Reviewers
"Insane-O-Tron was hilariously twisted and weird – and I mean that as a compliment!" Claire Middleton - Indie Book Reviewers
Marketing Plan
Nick Alverson lives in Los Angeles. He writes stories with fun characters, set in crazy and absurd situations. Nick's writing is like riding a roller coaster in the dark with a piece of the track missing. You'll never predict the twists and turns and eventually the car is going off the rails.
Writing is his passion. He does it everyday. He does it every weekend. He's probably doing it right now. Nick has a lot of stories in his head trying to get out.
Insane-O-Tron is his first book. He's also written screenplays and is currently working on the followup to Insane-O-Tron.
