Critics praise Dale Andrew White’s
MOE HOWARD DIED FOR OUR SINS
https://amzn.to/3lus1ky
Nominated for the James Thurber Prize for American Humor
FEATHERED QUILL BOOK REVIEWS:
“'Moe Howard Died For Our Sins' is a collection of humorous short stories that are, at some points, irreverently provocative and at other times just plain guffaw-able, but always a superb display of White’s fine writing style and seriously slanted sense of humor.”
BOOKREVIEW.COM:
“Dale Andrew White is a devious writer and his new collection, 'Moe Howard Died For Our Sins,' provides incriminating evidence of this. On the one hand, the flavor of his tales faintly evokes that decayed antebellum style of Southern literature that is both lyrically humorous and self-deprecating; the sort of thing we get in Faulkner's Sartoris or Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn... On the other hand, this not the satire of Ambrose Bierce or H. L. Mencken. It is more like the kind of in-your-face semantic slapstick that you might expect of a George Carlin or a Lenny Bruce... To open this collection is to invite trouble - and probably enjoy it.”
MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW:
“Part-time iconoclast and two-fingered typist Dale Andrew White is a natural born storyteller with an especial flair for blending fantasy, whimsy, satire and a fevered imagination into original stories that are replete with ribald humor and reader-engaging novelty. Subtitled ‘made-to-fit tales for the maladjusted,’ this collection of short stories showcase a genuine and offbeat talent... Highly recommended reading!”

“IN-YOUR-FACE HUMOR WORTHY OF COMEDY CENTRAL”
Critics praise Dale Andrew White’s
RETURN OF THE DITTOS
https://amzn.to/3fsZ70E
Nominated for the James Thurber Prize for American Humor
READERVIEWS.COM:
“'Return of the Dittos' is a rich confection of satire and humor, all boxed in 20 short stories and tied with a ribbon... Some of his stories come across as being written in the classic style of humorists like Mark Twain or the British satirist Saki... Still others come across with raw, in-your-face humor worthy of Comedy Central. All I know is that Dale Andrew White is a clever and talented writer and 'Return of the Dittos' is a truly funny book.”
BOOKREVIEW.COM:
“White has a wonderful talent for engaging the unexpected, and his quick turns are wild and fun... 'Return of the Dittos' strikes a balance between contemporary and fine aged humor that can't be found anywhere else and is refreshing as it is funny.”
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER:
“Whether writing about the end of the world, terrorist swans, entering the after-life or high school journalism, White entertains with clever asides, obvious (and some not-so-obvious) puns, and cultural and societal pokes. His stories combine satire, slapstick, innuendo and outright silliness. All of it is punctuated with interesting, quirky characters.”
FEATHERED QUILL BOOK REVIEW:
“If you have the type of humor that appreciates the bizarre and offbeat, and count me in, then you will enjoy 'Return of the Dittos' by Dale Andrew White. White's eccentric and quirky sense of humor is evidenced throughout the book, taking the reader through twists and turns, delights and mishaps in this collection of short stories.”
MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW:
“Short story anthologies often bring a variety and freshness that novels can't quite match. 'Return of the Dittos and Other Stories' is a new collection of stories from acclaimed short fiction author Dale Andrew White. A unique assortment of stories, each as entertaining as the last, 'Return of the Dittos' is a collection that short fiction lovers must get.”
