    A dying town launches a rebranding campaign that no one seems to be running. The billboards appear overnight. The slogans don't explain themselves. A diner waitress says nobody puts them up, and nobody takes them down. A couple arrives expecting ironic tourism and finds something closer to a live experiment. Beauchêne doesn't ask visitors to believe anything. It only asks them to stay. To notice. To participate. What begins as small-town decay becomes a slow, sideways unraveling... murals that feel instructional, civic programs that behave like dares, and a town that seems increasingly aware of the people passing through it. A surreal, slow-burn satire about American decline, anti-branding, and the strange comfort of entropy. Meaning doesn't collapse here. It rebrands. Entropy is a vibe. Decline tastes like caramel. Welcome to Beauchêne. You're here now.

    Kenji: The Inside Man is a satire-light novel following Kenji Takahashi, a veteran undercover operative who's seen it all-except high school. Assigned to infiltrate Sakura High School as a student (yes, as a student), his mission is to uncover the truth behind a suspicious pudding distribution network linked to global experiments on youth behavior. But between rehearsing Shakespeare, spiking volleyballs, and avoiding the romantic attention of teenagers and faculty, Kenji starts to question which is more dangerous: the mission... or the minors. The school seems oblivious. The vending machines are full of suspicious desserts. And the nurse might be part of something bigger than anyone suspects. Comedy, absurdity, and deadpan spy tactics collide in this parody of espionage thrillers and high school anime.

    The Sinclair's are wealthy, powerful, and an absolute menace to society. Between suspiciously timed deaths, centuries-old feuds, and a family tree more twisted than a pretzel, life as a Sinclair isn't just about status it's about survival. At the heart of this scandalous mess is Nick Sinclair, a reluctant heir who was never meant to be in this kind of world. Nick is just trying to make it through family dinners without being poisoned, boarding school without being disgraced and shamed, and high society functions without causing local wars and international incidents. He swears his nine-year-old sister Kimberly might be Jack The Ripper reborn as she places him in life or death situations on the daily. And those are just on holidays. The Sinclair siblings must navigate elite society and manage family expectations while also avoiding attempted murderers. Can Nick keep himself alive and sane, or will the Sinclair name be his own undoing as it spits and chews him out?

    The Old Man The Old Man follows Steve, a deaf father trying-and failing-to survive his unbelievably chaotic family. His blind wife Susan, brain-damaged daughter Abigail, and noseless son Earl turn a simple day at home into a disaster of screaming, smearing, and a mysterious cross-eyed dog that shows up only to eat turds off the floor. As a noodle-armed stranger with a toe growing from his palm joins the madness, Steve realizes his life has spiraled beyond all laws of nature. But just when the chaos peaks, he wakes up-forty years old, calm, living in a quiet apartment with a normal cat. It was all one disgusting, ridiculous nightmare. The Old Man is a fast, bizarre, gross-out comedy with a surreal twist and a surprisingly peaceful ending.
