"These inappropriately pleasant poems about TikTok, necromantic sex and the pseudo-Platonic theurgy of Iamblichus are written with great insincerity. Nothing meaningful or emotional is confessed and there is no relatable trauma. The language is grotesque and artificial and has clearly not been submitted to a workshop for the appropriate craftsmanship. The book is not even very long. The overall tenacity, though, is SEARING. Reader, be careful not to burn your fingertips. WOW " --Efron Hirsch, expert entrepreneur, business consultant and author of numerous successful Kindle singles

Two young sisters enjoy the gustatory delights of chocolate pudding. A healthy young man takes a walk in the park and offers sage employment advice to strangers. A sinner estranged from God considers turning over a new leaf. In this set of exceptionally brief and mild stories, very little conflict occurs, and the characters are not developed in any great depth - if at all. If you're tired of exciting story arcs and dramatic events, Pleasant Tales II expertly withholds the conventional rewards of fiction. A collection especially appropriate for juvenile readers and those utterly bored with the ancient and mercenary strife of the human heart.
