MIKE ABADI
Fantasy Inspired By Reality
My eclectic interests have inspired tales of people both real and imagined. The Page Skipper —the first in my series of Long Short Stories— is a meta-fantasy about fictional characters trapped in an existential crisis. Coming soon are stories of desperate ambition, a very animated assassin, and a stage magician who has the tables turned on him by an assistant.
What People Are Saying
GREAT @#$%^! STORY I used to joke about writers telling jokes to other writers. "So, a comma and an apostrophe walk into a bar...." The Page Skipper takes that concept and runs with it. Abadi has created a wonderfully funny and imaginative world between the pages that blurs the line between fiction and reality. Highly recommended.
— RobWORDPLAY TURNS NARRATIVE ON ITS HEAD Very interesting and enjoyable examination of timing in plot, word playfulness and character quirkiness. It cleverly examines the unexpected way words can be used to turn narrative on its head. I recommend it highly.
— MARE D.SO FUN TO READ AND TRULY ORIGINAL The Page Skipper is incredibly fun, quirky, and readable. Very "meta" and unlike anything I've read. I'd especially recommend it to any fervent book lover or anyone else who appreciates clever, outside-the-box storytelling.
— Adam h.GREAT CONCEPT AND VERY ENTERTAINING! This book nails a fun and unique concept with some really clever wordplay sprinkled throughout the book. It was fun to meet all the characters and become immersed in a world that flips traditional literary devices on their head.
