The first three mind-bending episodes of Cliché are now together under one roof!

Cliché: Episodes 1-3 includes:

Cliché: Episode One - Honky-tonk - Calvin wakes to finds himself as an unwelcomed guest in a rough-and-tumble Honkytonk.

Cliché: Episode Two - Slasher - Calvin wakes to find himself as a new camp counselor in the 1980’s, where a vicious killer is mowing down—what else?—camp counselors.

Cliché: Episode Three - Zombies??? - Calvin wakes in an abandoned hospital where he will have to do battle with a horde of…zombies?

    People should not be treated like Calvin is treated, but he is making the best of a bad situation that he does not understand.

    I love watching Calvin as he figures things out and beats the hell out of everyone who gets in his way. Can’t wait for the next book in series.
    I highly recommend this book!

    I was getting pretty comfortable with Caleb and other characters. Then as characters transitioned Jeff’s style comforted me with traditional expectations. Ouch!…he pulled the rug out from beneath me with the Cliche series. A definite different method of construction story telling. I like the change. I needed it without knowing I needed it. But what caught me most of all was the ‘self talk’. You climbed into my head Jeff. I WAS talking to myself, but no I wasn’t, I just thought I was. Interesting artistry.
    Now…on for more of the Numb series, and others.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My second favorite author!

    Okay, Stephen King is number one, but Jeff Menapace isn't far behind. I had purchased a couple of his Bad Games series a while back and finally got around to reading them a few months ago and I was hooked. I read the first three books and quickly ordered the next two along with Numb and Cliche: Episodes 1-3. I was blown away by Numb and liked Cliche even more.

    Jeff, you keep writing and I'll keep reading and, Stephen, you might want to watch out!

    Ok, I've already cast the movie folks: The ONLY actor who can do Calvin justice is Ryan Reynolds!! And the bad-ass babe bitch HAS to be Kerry Washingtom.
