520    From the creator and executive producer of the beloved and
       universally acclaimed television series BoJack Horseman , 
       a fabulously off-beat collection of short stories about 
       love--the best and worst thing in the universe Written 
       with all the scathing dark humor that is a hallmark of 
       BoJack Horseman , Raphael Bob-Waksberg's stories will make
       readers laugh, weep, and shiver in uncomfortably delicious
       recognition. In "A Most Blessed and Auspicious Occasion," 
       a young couple planning a wedding is forced to deal with 
       interfering relatives dictating the appropriate number of 
       ritual goat sacrifices. "Missed Connection--m4w" is the 
       tragicomic tale of a pair of lonely commuters eternally 
       failing to make that longed-for contact. The members of a 
       rock band in "Up-and-Comers" discover they suddenly have 
       superpowers--but only when they're drunk. And in "The 
       Serial Monogamist's Guide to Important New York City 
       Landmarks," a woman maps her history of romantic failures 
       based on the places she and her significant others visited
       together. Equally at home with the surreal and the 
       painfully relatable (or both at once), Bob-Waksberg 
       delivers a killer combination of humor, romance, whimsy, 
       cultural commentary, and crushing emotional vulnerability.
       The resulting collection is a punchy, perfect bloody 
       valentine.
