ABSURD VENTURES PRESS is the book publishing imprint of Absurd Ventures, the storytelling entertainment company founded by writer and creative director, Dan Houser.
The Absurd Ventures Press imprint is distributed by Simon & Schuster and aims to publish interesting stories of all kinds — fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, plays, short stories, and more — from writers who understand the value of a daring tale well told, who grasp the absurd but fascinating nature of our world, or simply believe that humor, satire or humanity itself can be found in in the oddest situations.
Books from Absurd Ventures Press include:
Absurd Ventures Press presents the first book in an immersive and addictive series from the million-copy selling phenomenon Torsten Weitze that follows the epic journey of a young protagonist with nothing left to lose.
When tragedy strikes her family, Niri finds herself penniless and alone in a city determined to turn their back on 'her kind'. Her only possession is also her only hope — a copper coin that grants her admission to the prestigious Stormfell Academy, renowned for its magical and combative training. But the coin only offers her a place to sleep, and Niri must learn to adapt and fight if she is to survive the Academy — and its occupants. The Tower of Beggars is the first enthralling installment in the bestselling Stormfell Academy series that has captivated millions of readers in Europe, now available in the US and UK for the first time.
The first novel from Dan Houser,
writer of the Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto series.
Everyone tries to escape from paradise. Mark Tyburn dreams of building the perfect video game. Kurt Fischer dreams of being a rich and successful executive. Daisy Tyburn dreams of having the ideal father. John Tyburn Smith dreams of fitting in. NigelDave just dreams of becoming human.
Set in the near future, A BETTER PARADISE tells the story of the ill-fated development of an ambitious but addictive video game project that goes very wrong. As the software they developed starts to produce unexpected and disturbing results, the project is shut down and abandoned. Until now.
