Nick Offerman here along with his posse of high-profile guests presents this grand series of 12 short and exciting stories. These are written in an engaging style of classic kid’s stories. However, there is a decidedly adult touch to these stories as well.
If the children’s literature has to be taken as any guide then we should all be able to fall asleep in a magical way. This could be simply done by just saying goodnight to all the things that we could see from our beds. But all types of adults know that our different shameful memories and anxieties would rather stay up the entire night and chat.
That is where Nick Offerman and his team came in with some clever and sometimes downright dark parodies done of the exciting and classic children’s genre. What happened after the death of Snow white, which is from the perspective of a medically trained kind of dwarf? A raw wizard professor reported back from the trenches of a completely underprivileged magic school. There is a story of a man haunted by the weird voices of his own fast-aging body. All of these stories will make you laugh and cry and sometimes squirm slightly as well.
More Bedtime Stores for Cynics might not be a book for everyone as it is not just a straightforward humorous book for all. It is quite cynical, dry, and clipped while the humor is not kind of goofball style or rip-roaring.
