Blending fantasy, whimsy, satire, and a fevered imagination, Feb 6 2005
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Moe Howard Died for Our Sins (Paperback)
Part-time iconoclast and two-fingered typist Dale Andrew White is a natural born storyteller with an especial flair for blending fantasy, whimsy, satire, and a fevered imagination into original stories that are replete with ribald humor and reader-engaging novelty. Subtitled "made-to-fit tales for the maladjusted", this collection of short stories showcase a genuine and offbeat talent anthologized into a 110-page compendium which includes The South's Greatest Writer; Lunacy Grounded; Nature of the Beasts; Babes in Arms; Mightier than the Sword; Benny the Broker; The Twiddlebum Method: Shaping Today's Youth for a Limited Tomorrow; Behind the Throne; Kiss of Knowledge; The Battle of Florence Tucker; Scenic Hell Becomes Vacation Hot Spot; A Taste of Palp; Life of the Party; The Dirtiest Words in the World; Double Occupancy; Feed the Lawyers; The Bells of Griswald Stump; Mrs. Reinsman Rides Again; and the title piece, Moe Howard Died For Our Sins. Highly recommended reading!

Laugh-out-loud fiction, Oct 24 2004
By Humor Book Addict - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Moe Howard Died for Our Sins (Paperback)
"Moe Howard Died For Our Sins: Made-to-Fit Fiction for the Maladjusted" is an anthology of 19 humorous short stories, ranging in style from the homespun to the macabre, that appeared in Modern Short Stories, Comic Relief, Beyond Science Fiction & Fantasy, The MacGuffin and numerous other magazines and literary journals.A synopsis from the book's cover:
"With humor as twisted as its stories' plots, 'Moe Howard Died For Our Sins' takes readers on a rollicking, hilarious ride. Go to Hell - and see it as a tourist. Get lured into a pie-throwing cult. Peek backstage at the Second Coming. Encounter talking pigs, a tongue-twisting poet, levitating patients, militant tots and a song-and-dance act that's its own show-stopper. The misadventures just keep coming. Part fantasy, part satire, this collection of short stories is totally bent."
The stories include: "The South's Greatest Writer," "Lunacy Grounded," "Moe Howard Died For Our Sins," "Nature of the Beasts," "Babes in Arms," "Mightier than the Sword," "Benny the Broker," "The Twiddlebum Method," "Behind the Throne," "Kiss of Knowledge," "The Battle of Florence Tucker," "Scenic Hell Becomes Vacation Hot Spot," "A Taste of Palp," "Life of the Party," "The Dirtiest Words in the World," "Double Occupancy," "Feed the Lawyers," "The Bells of Griswald Stump" and "Mrs. Reinsman Rides Again."

Short Fiction at it's Best, July 17 2008
By J. Richards "jar617" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Moe Howard Died for Our Sins (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed the wit and satire of Dale Andrew White. Moe Howard Died for Our Sins is full of the twisted humor I love so much. Especially close to my heart was the short "Kiss of Knowledge". It actually brought back childhood memories. The twisted humor is just what you need to step out of the norm and have some fun. Dale Andrew White has a hit with this book. Whether or not you enjoyed the Three Stooges, you will enjoy this book.
