Confront the spectre of failure the wraith of social media and other supernatural enemies of
the author Tom Gauld returns with his wittiest and most trenchant collection of literary
cartoons to date. Perfectly composed drawings are punctuated with the artist's signature brand
of humour hitting high and low. After all Gauld is just as comfortable taking jabs at Jane
Eyre and Game of Thrones. Some particularly favoured targets include the pretentious
procrastinating novelist the commercial mercenary of the dispassionate editor the wilful
obscurantism of the vainglorious poet. Quake in the presence of the stack of bedside books as
it grows taller! Gnash your teeth at the ever-moving deadline that the writer never meets!
Quail before the critic's incisive dissection of the manuscript! And most importantly seethe
with envy at the paragon of creative productivity! Revenge of the Librarians contains even
more murders drubbings and castigations than The Department of Mind-Blowing Theories Baking
For Kafka or any other collections of mordant scribblings by the inimitably excellent Gauld.
