Peppy Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798258850096)

Peppy Stories by Tony W. Arnold

Meet Floyle: a lovably lost soul stumbling through a fever-dream America of feed-and-seed stores, roadside snake pits, haunted funhouses, and a shadowy antagonist named Dr. Peppy who may or may not be real. Told in the plainspoken, stream-of-consciousness voice of a man who never quite finished processing the 20th century, Peppy Stories is a collection of short, surreal episodes that blur the line between backwoods Americana and full-blown hallucination.

Equal parts absurdist comedy, pulp adventure, and unsettling fever dream, this is a book that refuses to sit still - one page you're at a Kwanzaa-adjacent family road trip, the next you're battling airborne marsupials with a squirt gun full of mystery liquid. Irreverent, unpredictable, and proudly unconcerned with good taste, Peppy Stories is for readers who like their fiction weird, fast, and a little dangerous.

If you liked Flannery O'Connor with the sanity switch flipped off, or David Lynch by way of a truck stop diner - welcome to Floyle's world.
