Spoilers
Highlighted in Vulture’s Best Comedy Books of 2023
Do you enjoy movies? Sharp satire? Laughter in general? If so, this book was written for you.
Spoilers is a collection of satirical stories that poke fun at thirty of Hollywood’s most famous films and franchises. The Little Mermaid writes a not-so-happily-ever-after, tell-all memoir about marrying into the royal family, Princess Leia wonders why the Jedi are always the underdogs against the Dark Side, whose political views ought to be way less popular, and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover slowly loses his mind as he investigates a troublemaker who keeps popping up everywhere named Forrest Gump.
A hilarious debut from frequent New Yorker and McSweeney’s contributor Carlos Greaves, Spoilers will leave you laughing at hitherto unexamined plot points of your favorite films, at the sorry state of the world we live in, and definitely at whoever’s idea it was to open a theme park full of people-eating dinosaurs.
Spoilers is now available! Please consider buying the book from your local independent bookstore, or any of my favorite bookstores (they ship anywhere in the US):
