Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A mock-literary adult humor collection for readers who like their classics with fewer morals, dirtier jokes, and a lot more tavern trouble.

After more than a year of writing, rewriting, editing, polishing, and making increasingly questionable literary decisions, this volume and its predecessor-these filthy little tavern disasters-are finally ready to stagger into the world.

Thou Shalt Not Edge is a filthy, funny, bard-inspired collection of bawdy ballads, improper sonnets, tavern songs, dirty duets, Gothic moans, raunchy poetry, literary parody, and historical nonsense for adult readers with a taste for wordplay and a deeply unserious relationship with classic literature.

Inside, solemn poetic traditions are dragged through the tavern, Shakespearean drama gets caught with its hose down, Gothic narrators lose the plot, royal courts become logistical nightmares, and every codpiece, candle, balcony, bedpost, lusty knight, judgmental servant, and overconfident bard has something to say.

This is adult comedy poetry for people who enjoy classic literature parody, dirty poems for adults, inappropriate humor, Shakespeare-inspired nonsense, tavern-floor philosophy, mock-epic disasters, funny adult verse, and jokes dressed up just enough to look respectable from across the room.

From Shakespeare-flavored scandal to Poe-inspired chamber-door disasters, Dickinsonian dashes, Frosty bad decisions, mock-epic foolishness, queer jousts, tavern ballads, haikus for the horribly aroused, filthy sonnets, bardic blasphemy, and appendices no respectable scholar requested, this collection is built for readers who enjoy clever filth, humorous verse, bawdy poetry, literary satire, and jokes that should absolutely not be read aloud at Thanksgiving.

Perfect for fans of raunchy humor books, adult gag gifts, inappropriate poetry, funny parody books, bookish comedy, English-major misbehavior, white elephant gifts, bachelorette party gag gifts, bachelor party gag gifts, dirty stocking stuffers, funny gifts for adults, inappropriate book club picks, and anyone who has ever thought the classics could use more wine, worse decisions, and a lot less dignity.

For adult readers only.
