Mega Weird is an assurance that it's okay to be different. In fact, it's essential.

Reviews

Mega Weird is in some ways an extension of Megaliss Vine personaits earnest and quirky and artistic. But its also far more intimate Mega Weird is profanity-laced and some of its stories are at best PG-13, but the book also has a youthfulness that makes it feel like a letter from Megalis now to Megalis of 10 years ago. * Newsweek *
Mega Weirdplays to all of Megaliss strengths. The collection of essays follows the Vine model by offering a generation with a winnowing attention span hilarious, bite-size stories that skip from the first time he went to jail to a poignant outing at Auntie Annes pretzels. * The Daily Dot *

Author Bio

Nicholas Megalis was born on April 8, 1989 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to two wonderfully weird parents. He was raised in Cleveland where highlights of his life included visits to his Greek immigrant grandmas house with his chain-smoking aunt and conducting imaginary Rolling Stone interviews with himself. He now lives in Brooklyn, New York where he makes music, videos, and sandwiches. This is his first book. God help us.
