description: A dark fable full of emotional heft and humor. Luke Kondor comes at you sideways surprising you with universal truths beneath a whacked-out Bizarro veneer. The Run Fantastic is constantly entertaining and right up my alley. Danger Slater author of I Will Rot Without YouAt 5:45 am Ampersand Jones develops a brain aneurysm and dies in his sleep. He then gets up and goes for a run. With his positive-thinking podcasts for company he decides that hes going to run himself back to life having to outrun warring running clubs reanimated road kill and the personification of death along the way.The Run Fantastic is a surreal comedy about lost boys and dead things sitting somewhere between The Mighty Boosh Peter Pan and Beetlejuice.Im very impressed with Lukes brain. I think he should send The Run Fantastic to David Firth so he can make an animation to accompany a reading of this entire book thats how unsettling hilarious and Northern The Run Fantastic is. Its full of clever metaphors daft as a Mighty Boosh episode and so beautiful in places that everything about humanity love and death makes sense if only for a minute.
