EXPERIENCE THE “COMEDIC MASTERY” OF AMAZON’S #1 BESTSELLING ABSURDIST NOVEL

Morty Shallman’s
THE TYRANNY OF DESIRE

Puchy Mushkin is a big dreamer and an even bigger loser whose spectacular failure as a human being is exceeded only by the enormity of his penis.

In the depths of his despair, Puchy has an epiphany: could the endless series of screw-ups that define his existence be the result of his overwhelming desire for success—the success he believes is his birthright?

To test his theory and, hopefully, change his fate, Puchy vows to banish all dreams, goals, aims, ambitions, and obsessions from his life except one: to assassinate desire itself and hang it by its feet like Mussolini.

Will Puchy succeed in his quest to conquer desire? Or will desire get him first? Grab your copy of The Tyranny of Desire TODAY to find out.

What Readers are Saying

“I absolutely loved Shallman’s novel…It is simply a masterclass in comedy writing about a down-and-out loner that can’t get close to anybody without it going horribly wrong.

“This is the weirdest and most glorious book ever written and I want MORE. Fans of Chuck Palahnuik and Kurt Vonnegut will be pleased to know there is a new contender in the gritty raw world of transgressive fiction. Please read this book!”
