For the fans of the wit and humor by Darrin Masson, they won't be disappointed with his latest release, THE HILLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF LAUGHTER, The Ultimate Collection of Rude, Crude, and Very Funny Short Stories.Now, for the disclaimer, if you have an issue with crude language or completely stupid non-sense, well, this might not be for you. However, if you have a healthy sense of humor and enjoy the likes of George Carlin then let’s talk. This Darrin Mason has a warped and twisted mind with the hap-hazard stuff to come out of his head. I mean, you just can't make this demented stuff up but he does! It's foul, it's rude, it's crude, and I love it!!!I read these short stories by Darrin and I find it amazing for the names he comes up with for his characters. The storylines are the icing on top of the cake. At times, I find myself thinking of Peter Sellers, I wonder if this was the madness going through his mind because Darrin has it for sure. Take a break and get your mind off the troubles of the world and have a cold one and a laugh, life is too short to take it too seriously. I'll give some insight into a few of my favorites,"Stephen King Author The First And The Knights Of Rock And Roll"- I bet even Stephen King would get a kick out of this little gem. I don't know where Darrin Mason comes up with this hilarious comedic off color humor. It borders on utter insanity and genius."33AD: A Parody of Biblical Proportions" Darrin has a completely different style of writing with this installment that is just as fascinating and funny as his other works. One aspect that is missing is the "flying monkey language" however, the cleverness is in abundance. I loved the references to modern times such as the book store owner being named Sam with his son being Son of Sam. Then there is the red Ferreira that is a story within itself, gotta love the jail-house scene with it over the petro bill, I didn't see that coming and is probably my personal hi-light of the book.As a fan of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, you know I am going to love Darrin Mason's style of humor. Reminds me of Chef from Southpark, Darrin leaves no stone unturned in finding a way to offend everything and everyone, even the trees that would be used in the printing of the book. As far as this type of humor goes, it just doesn't get any better than this, I love it!
