Celebrate 20 years of Manic Pixie Dream Girl with an uproarious parody of the ubiquitous trope from the man who coined the phrase, and learned the craft of parody from the master himself, as the author of three books about "Weird Al" Yankovic: Weird Al: The Book (With Al Yankovic), The Weird Accordion to Al and The Weird A-Coloring to Al (with Felipe Sobreiro.

Maniac Pixie Dream Girl follows the tragicomic but mostly just hilarious misadventures of Robin Yount, a depressed former Secret Service agent who meets cute with Zoe V, a quirky 20-year-old who renews his lost lust for life and shows him just how wonderful life can be. But can she be trusted? No, she can not, as she's a killer android created specifically to destroy Robin.
