New on Wattpad: Catsby
Jay Z. Catsby throws the sickest parties on the Jersey Shore. His neighbor Dick has heard all the rumors: Catsby killed a man. He’s richer than Blue Ivy. He’s Hugh Jackman’s butt double in the X-Men movies.
Nothing can prepare Dick for the truth: He’s a furry who spends his days and nights in a cat costume, pining away for Dick’s cousin Dandelion, a manic-pixie dream yuppie living in Park Slope with her brutish husband. Against everyone’s better judgment—but much to the reader’s amusement—Catsby begins an affair with Dandelion that may cost him all nine of his lives.
Begin reading the serialized novel for free on Wattpad! New parts will be posted weekly.

Edgar Allan Pole: The Collected Edition
"A disgusting piece of trash so repulsive I had to read it twice just to be sure I was offended. And then again, in case I missed something the first two times.” — Megan Hart, New York Times bestselling author
In The Telltale Hardon and Other Perversions, Edgar Allan Pole (aka Andrew Shaffer) digs up seven of Edgar Allan Poe’s best-loved stories and gives them a post-mortem makeover.
This new edition includes all six previously published Edgar Allan Pole short stories, as well as a new tale exclusive to this ebook ("The Gold Buns," a twisted take on "The Gold-Bug"). And just look at that spiffy new cover!
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies jumpstarted the literary mash-up genre; Pole’s twisted take on classic Poe short stories such as “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Fall of the House of Usher” will pound the final nail into the genre’s coffin.
