Take one sword-wielding penguin, add a time traveling cowboy, and throw in more zombies than you can shake a stick at. Mix it all together and that's just a taste of what you'll find in this all new collection of four novellas by Steeven R. Orr. This quirky collection opens with "Then a Penguin Walked In", a fantasy tale about Dominick Hanrahan, a fast food cook surrounded in the gray of day to day dullness and drudgery. Then a penguin walked in, taking Dominick from a life of tedium and thrusting him into a world he never knew existed. But is he destined to save his new home? Next is "Fanboys of Doom" in which former police officer and survivor of the zombie apocalypse, desperate to add the Holy Grail of comics to his mobile man cave, will risk being eaten alive by a bevy of zombie fanboys to gain his prize. Then, in "The Undead of the Night", a group of strangers find themselves trapped in a convenience store in the middle of nowhere as the dead rise to feast. But not everything is as it seems. (A Norman Oklahoma adventure). And in the last tale of this collection, "The Other Gunfight", an icon of the Old West travels in time to the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral on a mission to stop a fellow time traveler from killing the wrong person. Humorous, exciting, and just a bit weird, "Then a Penguin Walked In and Other Tall Tales" is the book you didn't know you needed until now.
I woke this morning to find a walrus sitting at my kitchen table. Things sorta went downhill from there. My name is Norman Oklahoma. I’m a private investigator who specializes in the supernatural, the unexplained, and the just plain weird. In other words, I kick the monsters out of your closet and drag them out from under your bed. I hunt the things that go bump in the night and crack them upside the head with the stock of an antique Winchester. These are my stories. Collecting the first three tales from the ongoing online serial, join Norman as he battles goblins, ogres, vampires, crazed cult members, and even a mutant walrus man. This isn't Urban Fantasy, this is Rural Fantasy.

It wasn’t so long ago that the fairy tale was comfortably settled as an established and respectable part of children’s literature. Since the fairy tale has always been a mirror of its times, however, we should not be surprised that in the latter part of the twentieth century it turned dark and ambiguous; its categorical distinction between good and evil was increasingly at odds with the times. Yet whatever changes the fairy tale may have undergone, its cultural popularity has never been greater. Fairy Tales in Popular Culture sets out to show how the tale has been adapted to meet the needs of the contemporary world; how writers, film-makers, artists, and other communicators have found in its universality an ideal vehicle for speaking to the here-and-now; and how social media have created a participatory culture that has re-invented the fairy tale. A selection of recent retellings show how the tale is being recalibrated for the contemporary world, first through the word and then through the image. In addition to the introductions that precede each section, the anthology provides a selection of critical pieces that offer lively insight into various aspects of the fairy tale as popular culture.
