The Sturgeon General Recommends Adam Norris

The Sturgeon General is an anthology of comedic writing, compiling short works of fiction and non-fiction and other miscellany for the hilarious good of all. Each issue features the work of a single comedy writer.

Adam Norris's short story 'One Black Stone' features a post-rapture world suffering from seven strange plagues. But it turns out He has a sense of humour, and His plagues include a wave of Chihuahuas and dress hats.

Now that the faithful have all ascended, John Parliament is left in the apocalypse with his s****y job, unfaithful wife and Kevin Costner obsessed friend. And the seventh and final plague is just around the corner. 'One Black Stone' is funny, sad and strangely beautiful.
