A. Grimsbro, Warlord of Mars
It’s the second book in the Futhermucking Classics series, and this time Arabella is taking on Edgar Rice Burroughs’s A Princess of Mars. If you don’t want to go back and read the Wizard of Oz one first, don’t worry! It’s specifically designed so you can jump right in if all you care about is BARSOOM.
Arabella Grimsbro is a 15-year-old girl with a foul mouth and an attitude to match. When she walks into a cheesy mall store promising virtual reality tours of public domain classics, the last thing she expects is to find herself stuck in one.
But if she thought Oz was bad, she’s in for a surprise when she trades beloved childrenʼs literature for manly pulp adventure. Giant green monsters! Sword fights to the death! The healing power of toxic masculinity! Welcome to Barsoom, where everything has extra limbs and nobody wears clothes.
Also, the only way out is pretty much death. So… hooray?
You can buy it on Amazon right now! (And please do!)
THAT IS ALL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
My favorite parts are about Toto. Okay, Woola.
I loved both your Grimsbro books, Matt. Please don’t stop at three; keep writing this shit till infinity and beyond. Is swearing ok here? I feel as though it’s maybe taking liberties, but what do I know? Come to the Northeast for a conference; we have cookies and, here in Portland, ME, more microbreweries per capita than anywhere else in the US (according to some article somewhere).
I tried to download the Sherlock stofy, but I’m already on your email list. Your site kept sending me into purgatory, or maybe Barsoom, every time I tried to sign up again and get the short story. Any chance you could help a bro-gal-fan out? Pleeeze?
Sent you an email! Also, I was TOTALLY at a comic book convention in Portland, ME like five years ago or something IF YOU MISSED IT THAT’S ON YOOOOOUUUU.
