The Wrong Way to Feed a Unicorn by Christian Knoebel

What people are saying about The Wrong Way to Feed a Unicorn:

"I laughed from the very beginning of this story until the end ... people stared, I told them to read the book." -- Ionia Martin

"This was one of the most original and enjoyable stories that I've read in a long time." -- J. Chambers on Amazon.com

"Knoebel creates a fascinating world populated by a cast of strange yet wonderful characters ... It holds more about life in its 46 pages than many books ten times that length." -- Christopher Taylor

Charles wants to keep his 13-year-old daughter Lexi happy even if it means taking care of a manipulative, potty mouthed unicorn that continually insults his hospitality, intelligence and manhood. But when it comes to food they have a problem, and Charles finds himself hunting down one of the world's most expensive ingredients in a crime-ridden neighborhood known for its grisly dealings with outsiders.

Along the way he meets a long lost high school friend with a fast-food job and unusual knowledge of high-end cuisine; a voodoo wielding faith healer and his side-arm carrying bodyguard, a nearsighted stripper with a taste for knives, and her jealous boyfriend who confronts Charles for stealing his girl. Only one of them will walk away.
