Thrilling tales of modern men

There are many sides to Danny McBride: he's starred as the iconic character Jesse Gemstone in the cult classic TV series 'The Righteous Gemstones', a show he also wrote and created - just as he did with 'Vice Principals' and 'Eastbound & Down' before that. He's produced horror films like 'Halloween' and starred in comedy classics like 'Hot Rod' and 'Pineapple Express', as well as sci-fi hits like 'Alien: Covenant'. And ever since he was young, he's been writing short fiction. An amateur magician gets in way over his head with a deadly stunt in a local mall. A washed-up sitcom actor takes revenge on the coyote who killed his dog. Two young runaways decide to part ways, but not before embarking on one last big adventure. Hilarious, razor sharp, unexpectedly emotional, the stories here are like nothing else. And yet, they have one thing in common - they each probe the fragile masculinity that's become inherent to modern American culture.
