You Might be a Monster & Other Stories I Made Up
What if you combined Shel Silverstein and Tim Burton with a dollop of Dr. Seuss? Youd get Attaboy. With his theatrical eye for the absurd and unbridled paintbrush, Attaboys hilarious anthology of poems will amuse readers of all ages. Off-the-wall characters (a child who is a sock magnet) meet the adorably peculiar (a hugging cactus) and the bizarre (zombie clowns). Then there's the title story. Because of his beastly behavior, Gustav's parents hire an expert to determine if their son is truly a monster! Enjoy hidden jokes and hilarious wordplay in this collection from an irreverent twenty-first century imagination. "Attaboy's creepy cool monsters are an insane delight. They'll leap off the page, squirm through your optic nerve, and haunt your brain forever. And that's a good thing." - Mark Frauenfelder, founder of Boing Boing "If you like weird fun, then you'll love this book. It's like a candy store for your brain and eyes. A creative explosion of colorful stories, poems, and characters." - Liam Lynch creator of The Sifl & Olly Show, director "Tenacious D. and the Pick of Destiny" and Sarah Silverman's "Jesus is Magic"

¡Líbranos de todo mal!
En ¡Líbranos de todo mal!, aunque los cuentos tienen cada cual su propia carga y motivación, existe una comunión que está en el aire, en el lenguaje, en los modismos, en la forma de aproximación al mundo finisecular de la metrópoli. Esa metrópoli que Fanny Buitrago puebla con sus criaturas incluso fabulosas, sólidamente ancladas en la salsa cotidiana de una urbe crispada, nerviosa, estrambótica, dotada de adefesios dignos de ficción.

Cartas en el asunto
Cartas en el asunto es una invitación a jugar y a reír en serio. Se trata de barajar cartas, interpretarlas, vaticinar con ellas, seguir la carta astral, comer a la carta, leer la carta magna, la carta secreta, sostener comunicación por carta, aclarar una situación o definirla; en fin, R. H. Moreno-Durán aprovechó el término para mostrar su carácter polisémico y la riqueza del lenguaje. En los seis cuentos de Cartas en el asunto, la baraja presenta diversos escenarios de Bogotá y, como si se tratara de un bestiario, se refiere a personajes de toda índole. Con juegos conjeturales y asociaciones libres, representa lo trágico y lo cómico en la vida del país y de cada uno.
