All My Friends Are Dead

by Jory John and Avery Monsen

"Laugh out loud funny, and a tiny bit disturbing. In other words, perfect." - The Huffington Post



An amusing and captivating tale that's a delightful primer for laughing at the inevitable: If you're a dinosaur, all of your friends are dead. If you're a pirate, all of your friends have scurvy. If you're a tree, all of your friends are end tables. Each page of this laugh-out-loud, illustrated humor book showcases the downside of being everything from a clown to a cassette tape to a zombie. Cute and dark all at once, this hilarious children's book for adults teaches valuable lessons about life.



From the sock whose only friends have gone missing to the houseplant whose friends are being slowly killed by irresponsible plant owners (like you), All My Friends Are Dead presents hilariously entertaining stories about life and existential predicaments.



The simple yet effective imagery, the personification of inanimate objects, and short, hilarious quips come together to create an amusing adventure through each character's unique grievance and wide-eyed dilemmas.



Written by Avery Monsen, an actor, artist, and writer and Jory John, a writer, editor, and journalist. They are friends, and neither is dead. Yet.



All My Friends Are Dead
is both the saddest funny book and the funniest sad book you'll ever read.

Humor absurdo y existencial en formato cuento infantil. Te hace sonreĆ­r unas cuantas veces. Bastante insustancial aunque entretenido.
