FIFTY SHAMES OF EARL GREY

The parody brings to life all of the arguments for and against 50 Shades, including the feminist concerns, portrayal of BDSM, roots in Twilight fan-fiction, and EL James' writing style. Nor is contemporary culture safe - Shaffer lampoons everything from Bronies, to vodka-soaked tampons, to iPad's "Words with Friends." - with a surprise twist at the end.

Inspired by the overnight bestseller 50 Shades of Grey (as featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show, Fox News, LA Times, and Jezebel.com, to name a few), comes Andrew Shaffer's shrewd, laugh-out-loud funny parody titled 50 SHAMES OF EARL GREY. Shaffer’s twitter alter-egos, @evilwylie and @emperorfranzen, are followed by hundreds of book reviewers, journalists, & every book blogger of note. In 50 SHAMES, young, rich, and handsome tycoon Earl Grey has a dirty secret. He brings Anna, a naïve college student, past the tacky waterbed, strobe light, and blacklight posters inside his "Room of Doom," into his twisted world of, well, mostly naughty dialogue and light spanking. Anna is enthralled - after all, he's rich, and he has a habit of buying every company she's ever worked for (including Walmart) in an attempt to get close to her. But on the flipside, he's a moody bastard whose fifty shames constantly threaten to overwhelm her. Can Earl Grey and Anna ever have a normal life together? Or will his dark desires and constant smirking drive her over the edge?
