Description
Winner of the 2018 ABR Listeners Choice Award for best in humor!
A collection of absurdist and thought-provoking stories from the author’s Return to the Dirt, Just Speculating, and more, including unreleased, exclusive, audio-only content! Performed by a cast of award-winning and Audie® nominated narrators. Fans of the macabre, dark humor, and cerebral
thrillers are guaranteed a good listen.
Occupational Hazards is an unflinching ride through the absurdity of it all. Existentialism, absurdism, and outlandish humor merge with ordinary, workaday life for a truly unique perspective of the human experience. Not recommended for the faint of heart or easily offended. But if meaty stories are what you’re after….
We hope you’re hungry.

As an Asian American reading this, I found two of the stories particularly offensive. The first one, by itself, was strange and not particularly offensive in and of itself. It portrayed Chinese people as aliens with antennae or something. The story immediately following, however, had a racist old grandmother who made some particularly nasty comments about Chinese people. Taken by themselves, I wouldn’t have minded; but both of them back to back is too much racism for me.

This is an interesting collection of stories. As with most bundles of stories there were those that I really enjoyed and one or two that did not really catch my fancy but as a whole this collection is a good listen. Each story has strong characters and even though each story is quick they pack a punch. You are drawn into each of the worlds that the author has created and see through the characters eyes. Full of dark humor these stories will make you cringe and laugh at the same time. These are unique takes on everyday people and their jobs with some outrageous circumstances. As each story unfolded I wondered just what crazy ideas the author had in store for this set of characters. I enjoyed these tongue and cheek stories and each narrator does a good job of bringing life to the characters and their stories.
