AS COVERED BY
HUMOR • HORROR • SHORT STORIES
Killing It
The most-watched YouTube video in history is driving its viewers insane. A Greek resort has a vampire problem. A cursed fortune puts a Nigerian prince on a direct course to your spam folder. Scary and hilarious in equal measure.
A twisted reflection of the 21st century and a dark preview of what’s to come.
“People get paid a LOT of money to write comedy who are not one-tenth as funny as [Christian A. Dumais].”
- NPR

HUMOR • IRREVERANT • FUN
Failed Pilot
TV shows that never quite made it off the ground — until now. A collection of made-up failed TV pilots that plays with form, genre, and expectation in the way only Dumais can.
The literary equivalent of RICK AND MORTY’s interdimensional cable.
“One of TIME’s favorite funnymen.”

REVIEWS • COMIC BOOKS • BIOGRAPHICAL
Go West
From the creator of DRUNKHULK comes the definitive word on the greatest B-team in Marvel history — the West Coast Avengers! This comic ran for nearly a decade and asked the bold question: what if the Avengers, but Los Angeles? Think of it as the Joey to the Avengers’ Friends, featuring Hawkeye, Mockingbird, Iron Man, and a rotating cast of heroes who were definitely available.
This lovingly obsessive deep dive reviews every single issue with the humor and nostalgia only a true believer could bring.
GENRE • EUPHICTIONAL • SHORT STORIES
Cover Stories
A euphictional anthology of 100 stories inspired by songs — created, edited, and contributed to by Christian A. Dumais.
One of the most inventive collections of its kind.
BIOGRAPHICAL • HEARTBREAKING • SHORT STORIES
Empty Rooms Lonely Countries
A decade’s worth of short stories, wandering through two continents, five countries, and multiple universes to explore love, loss, and redemption in the 21st century.
The debut that announced a distinctly original voice.
“He’s funny, waxing poetic on pop culture in curt and hilarious ways.”
- Manolith
