    Have You Ever Cried So Hard You Wrote a Book? is a collection of 17 funny, slightly strange and occasionally sad short stories by Dominic Jackson including previously unreleased work, I hope you like it.

    If you read this book you'll learn about a 10,000-year-old wise cockroach, how to capture a house goblin, discover the mystery of where dog eggs come from, explore the importance of eating sand, a Labrador running a Gregg's factory, the importance of a lithium based diet, having a landlord who is also a toad, a late night talk show hosted by a raccoon, and a microplastic computer growing inside somebodies colon among other things.

    These are stories about people trying to get through ordinary lives in worlds that have become beyond their own comprehension of reality. Beneath the goblins, dogs, internet detritus and general stupidity are stories about loneliness, work, relationships, nostalgia, getting older, wanting to belong and trying to find meaning in a world that doesn't make a great deal of sense.

    Absurd, bleak, stupid and unexpectedly tender, Have You Ever Cried So Hard You Wrote a Book? is a collection about being alive in the modern world — unfortunately.

    Quote about the book from artist - 'Jim'll Paint It' -
    “Dominic’s stories hold a carnival mirror to the horrors of our own precarious existence as desperate characters navigate a nightmarish world where NFTs and goblins exist but no one is quite sure if dogs ever did. The results are very funny.“
