Seeking Beta Readers to my Fyodor Dostoyevky'esque VERY DARK COMEDY Novella

Since this is "off topic" I'll post about it here. For 6 months now I've been working on a dark comedy Novella called THE CARROT MAN. It's now in draft 6, even draft 3 had a couple beta readers, so GOOD LUCK finding a spelling mistake =)

It's a Fyodor Dostoyevky-esque comedy, but with more edge. You could call it Fyodor Dostoyevky meets Howard Stern // Dice Clay // Joey Diaz.

 

It's 15k words or 83 Kindle pages. Here is a link to cover + desription:

======================================

When a 30-year-old neurotic Swede moves into a filthy apartment — he gets the shock of a lifetime: his roommate is a carrot.

Not the kind you shred and put in a salad with peppers and onions. No, but a real life, living, human carrot — the saggy kind.

As his own depression spirals out of control, he starts hating his roommate for being everything he’s becoming.
Lazy.
Ugly.
Broke.
A human vegetable.

Dishes build up in the kitchen. The bathroom looks like a garbage dump. And the mailbox? Doesn’t even have his name on it! And the cherry on top of the cake is that his roommate will not, under any circumstances whatsoever, take out the garbage.

This bothers him to no end and he develops elaborate plans to force his roommate to act. He fills up the garbage bag with smelly things and goes for “mini-vacations” to his ex’s house.

When even this fails he snaps — his roommate is about to become the last ingredient in a giant batch of carrot soup.

 

======================================

 

Sounds interesting? I got it in Epub + PDF format and can email or send over facebook. I'm looking for all kinds of feedback, just your honest response/whatever comes to mind.

 

Respond in thread or send me a DM!
