Book Description

November 3, 2011
Death by sandwich! Death by yoga! Death by blimp! In HOORAY FOR DEATH, Famous Author Mykle Hansen draws unconventional humor from deaths tiny and large, and invites you to laugh while you can. 
Meet The Great Mecanico, super-scientist of super-science, a man who can fix anything but his mother's health. Meet BLIMPMAN, master of the Weight-Loss Ray, and his arch-nemesis Doctor Walrus! Meet Death himself -- a single, deadly male, looking for a lover who will die slowly. Meet Penelope, your dead wife who phones you from the underworld to say she met someone deader than you.
Loaded with Hansen's signature wit and weirdness, Hooray for Death is a great achievement of comedy, tragedy and hope.

More About the Author

Famous Author Mykle Hansen is frequently described as "brilliant," "hilarious," "weird," "crazy," "insane" and "stalking me." He is the author of the short-story collection EYEHEART EVERYTHING, the tragicomic novel HELP! A BEAR IS EATING ME!, the novella collection RAMPAGING F*CKERS OF EVERYTHING ON THE CRAZY SHITTING PLANET OF THE VOMIT ATMOSPHERE, and the upcoming blockbuster MY PUBLISHER SAYS I'M DOING REALLY WELL WITH THE EXTREMELY LONG AND UNGAINLY BOOK TITLES SO HERE'S ANOTHER ONE. He is a noted exponent of the "Bizarro" movement in literature, film and personal hygiene. He is also a musician, carpenter, computer programmer, sculptor, tap dancer, bicyclist, martial artist, ordained minister and firm block of lightly deep-fried tofu.

Mr. Hansen resides with his family and friends within a magic bubble called Portland, Oregon, where everybody drinks coffee and rides bicycles and nothing bad ever happens. This is his first Amazon author biography.

By mykle
Format:Paperback
Lovers of literature, appreciators of the finer things, grownups everywhere, I beseech thee: give HOORAY FOR DEATH a chance. It's shorter than INFINITE JEST, more up-to-date than DANTE'S INFERNO, funnier and more uplifting than THE ROAD, deeper and more complex than HOP ON POP, and is priced to compete vigorously with the CODEX SERAPHINIANUS. It is the perfect President's Day gift for that special person in your life who loves robots, blimps, walruses, Stephen King, or who will someday die.

Hooray for FAMH! February 2, 2012
Format:Paperback
While not my favorite of Famous Author Mykle Hansen's books, I did enjoy it. This book is a collection of short stories; which I only mention because it's not explicitly stated anywhere. For a book titled "Hooray for Death!" there are an unusually high number of stories about walruses and Stephen King (about a third).

BEST BOOK EVER! April 21, 2012
Format:Paperback
This is the best book ever. Witty and hilarious, "Hooray for Death" is top-notch entertainment. 12 awesome death-themed short stories take you to hell and back - and you return from the experience feeling totally enlivened. There's a few Stephen King parodies here and there that are pure genius. And there's some really captivating stuff on walri, robots, superheroes, and of course, lots and lots death. (HOORAY for DEATH!) Extremely enjoyable read. I am refeshingly entertained. Five stars, A+, 10 beers; this is the best short story collection of the year.
