A Neurotic Novel

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A struggling writer journeys through the world of fan conventions, collectible merch and more in this satirical novel—a “searing critique of geek culture” (Washington Post). As with so many members of his generation, down-on-his-luck writer-filmmaker Milton Siegel has an unhealthy fixation on the TV shows, movies, books, music, and celebrities from his childhood that spanned the 1980s and 1990s. Unlike many of his generation, Milt has spent most of his (so-called) life chronicling this same pop culture of his youth. After leaving his job at a regional newspaper, Milt embarks on a quixotic journey across the country to promote his latest project. Along the way, Milt contends with a horde of manic nerds, an inexplicable rash of natural disasters, clickbait-savvy media pundits, ambitious pseudo-celebrities, a seductive stripper, ultra-competitive frenemies, and his own sense of the precarious future while being so embroiled in his childish past.

Slimed!

An Oral History of Nickelodeon’s Golden Age

By: Mathew Klickstein

The special 5th Anniversary Edition of SLIMED! An Entertainment Weekly “Best Tell-All” Book One of Parade Magazine's “Best Books About Movies/TV” Included in Publishers Weekly's “Top Ten Social Science Books” Before the recent reboots, reunions, and renaissance of classic Nickelodeon nostalgia swept through the popular imagination, there was SLIMED!, the book that started it all. With hundreds of exclusive interviews and have-to-read-‘em-to-believe-‘em stories you won't find anywhere else, SLIMED! is the first-ever full chronicle of classic Nick…told by those who made it all happen! Nickelodeon nostalgia has become a cottage industry unto itself: countless podcasts, blogs, documentaries, social media communities, conventions, and beyond. But a little less than a decade ago, the best a dyed-in-the-wool Nick Kid could hope for when it came to coverage of the so-called Golden Age (1983–1995) of the Nickelodeon network was the infrequent listicle, op-ed, or even rarer interview with an actual old-school Nick denizen. Pop culture historian Mathew Klickstein changed all of that when he forged ahead to track down and interview more than 250 classic Nick VIP’s to at long last piece together the full wacky story of how Nickelodeon became “the Only Network for You!” Celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Nickelodeon with this special edition of SLIMED! that includes a new introduction by Nick Arcade’s Phil Moore in addition to a foreword by Double Dare’s Marc Summers and an afterword by none other than Artie, the Strongest Man in the World himself (aka Toby Huss). After you get SLIMED!, you’ll never look at Nickelodeon the same way again. “Mathew Klickstein might be the geek guru of the 21st century.”—Mark Mothersbaugh

You Are Obsolete

By: Mathew Klickstein,Evgeny Bornyakov

Una periodista caída en desgracia recibe el encargo de cubrir una misteriosa historia en una apartada isla en Europa. Mientras investiga, descubre que los niños de la isla han tomado el control y que, de alguna forma, están asesinando a los adultos al llegar su 40o aniversario. Ahora debe descubrir la verdad que se oculta tras los asesinatos, mientras intenta estar a buenas con los niños asesinos... o ella será la siguiente. YOU ARE OBSOLETE es un escalofriante thriller que evoca el inquietante naturalismo de las películas de terror de los años 70 y que toma un mortífero derrotero hacia lo digital. Escrito por Mathew Klickstein (Cazadores de sangre (Sony Pictures; 2009), Slimed!, Springfield Confidential, Selling Nostalgia) y dibujado por Evgeniy Bornyakov (DESCENDENT). "Mathew Klickstein, guionista y escritor todoterreno que con esta serie realiza su debut en los cómics, presenta una historia que arrastra una siniestra amenaza que es imparable y horripilante".

Springfield Confidential

Jokes, Secrets, and Outright Lies from a Lifetime Writing for The Simpsons

By: Mike Reiss,Mathew Klickstein

Semi-Finalist for the 2019 James Thurber Award * One of Vulture's Top-10 Comedy Books of 2018 * A "Must" pick by Entertainment Weekly * An A.V. Club Best Books selection * A "New and Noteworthy" selection by USA Today In celebration of The Simpsons thirtieth anniversary, the show’s longest-serving writer and producer offers a humorous look at the writing and making of the legendary Fox series that has become one of the most revered artistic achievements in television history. Four-time Emmy winner Mike Reiss—who has worked on The Simpsons continuously since episode one in 1989—shares stories, scandals, and gossip about working with America’s most iconic cartoon family ever. Reiss explains how the episodes are created, and provides an inside look at the show’s writers, animators, actors and celebrity guests. He answers a range of questions from Simpsons fans and die-hards, and reminisces about the making of perennially favorite episodes. In his freewheeling, irreverent comic style, Reiss reflects on his lifetime inside The Simpsons—a personal highlights reel of his achievements, observations, and favorite stories. Springfield Confidential exposes why Matt Groening decided to make all of the characters yellow; dishes on what it’s like to be crammed in a room full of funny writers sixty hours a week; and tells what Reiss learned after traveling to seventy-one countries where The Simpsons is watched (ironic note: there’s no electricity in many of these places); and even reveals where Springfield is located! He features unique interviews with Judd Apatow, who also provided the foreword, and Conan O'Brien, as well as with Simpsons legends Al Jean, Nancy Cartwright, Dan Castellaneta, and more. Like Cary Elwes’ As You Wish, Jennifer Keishin Armstrong’s Seinfeldia, and Chris Smith’s The Daily Show: An Oral History, Springfield Confidential is a funny, informational, and exclusive look at one of the most beloved programs in all of television land.

Being Mr. Skin

20 Years of Nip Slips, Cheek Peeks, and Fast-Forwarding to the Good Parts

By: Jim "Mr. Skin" McBride,Mathew Klickstein

Stripping Down, Laughing It Up, and Being Mr. Skin: The Naked Truth Behind a Hilarious and Unlikely Success Story You’ve heard Mr. Skin on The Howard Stern Show. You’ve seen his website in the blockbuster comedy Knocked Up. Maybe you’ve spent some time poking around on MrSkin.com, the world’s #1 resource for celebrity nudity. Now, Jim McBride—“Mr. Skin” himself—tells his story in uproarious, SKINtastic fashion…nip-slips, cheek-peeks, muff-scruffs and all! Being Mr. Skin details how Jim rose from being a suburban teen in the ‘80s with an impressively annotated videotape collection and an expert recall of the most sensational and sensuous scenes from every movie ever made, to his current status as Chief Sexecutive Officer of MrSkin.com—a naked-star-studded pop culture powerhouse. You’ll be riveted as Jim chronicles the unbelievable journey of juggling suburban family life while establishing his online sensation, quickly becoming the “World’s Foremost Authority on Celebrity Nudity.” Throughout this upward (and outward) saga of Tinseltown T&A triumphs, you’ll get the inside skinny on: • The first time Mr. Skin appeared on The Howard Stern Show and how he became a regular on the greatest radio program of all time! • How Judd Apatow turned Mr. Skin into the surprise breakout star of Knocked Up! • The time, effort, and tissues it takes to track every nude rack and crack in every movie and TV show ever made! • How some of your favorite actresses feel about being featured on the website—including several Anatomy Award winners! • The truth about Mr. Skin, The Family Man—There is a real Mrs. Skin and there are three lovely “skinfants.” • Mr. Skin’s most stunning showcases and shout-outs in top-tier media, including Saturday Night Live, Family Guy, The People’s Choice Awards, American Idol, and The Adam Carolla Show! • How (and why) Mr. Skin.com became one of the first-ever commercially successful websites. Throughout it all, Jim’s story amuses and amazes on every page. Being Mr. Skin supplies one-of-a-kind insights into how he transformed an offbeat passion into a popular and profitable phenomenon against all manner of odds—only some of which involve unclothed body parts—all with the help of his dedicated staff, friends, and, yes…even his mom! Being Mr. Skin is what Jim McBride does, it’s who he is. And now—for the first time in book form—you can enjoy nothing but “the good parts” (no fast-forwarding necessary). Featuring brand-new comics from Eisner Award nominee Johnny Ryan!
