“Erotica is hard. . . . Comedy is harder. If anyone can pull this off, it’s Andrew Shaffer.”
Valerie Frankel, author of Four of a Kind
“Nose picking, vagina scarf tricks, and erect space needles. What more can you ask of an erotic novel?”
Diana Rodriguez Wallach, author of Adios to All the Drama
“[Fanny Merkin is] the Weird Al of erotica.”

“It
had
to
happen:
a
parody
of
the
bestselling50
Shades
of
Grey.
And
who
better
to
pull
it
off
than
author
Andrew
Shaffer.”

“Laugh
out
loud…If
you
are
looking
for
a
funny
book
to
share
with
friends,
look
no
further…If
Austin
Powers
and
Ace
Ventura
had
a
love
child,
it
would
be
Earl
Grey.”Kirkus

“[Shaffer]
skewers
both
E.

of

Stephanie

“An
LOL
parody
of
that
creepy
book
your
aunts
have
been
tryin’
to
get
your
mom
to
read.”
Bookviews blog, September 2012
“It
probably
helps
if
you
read
James’
book,
but
it
doesn’t
matter
because
Shaffer’s
is
a
madcap
piece
of
fun.”
Seattle Times, 9/16/12
“Perhaps
the
greatest
homage.”

“Just
what

ordered
for
fans
of
the
uber-successful
trilogy…Laugh-out-loud
funny…Such

“Broad
enough
to
appeal
to
people
that
have
never
read
Fifty
Shades…Funny,
but
also
thoughtful.
There
is
some
great
social
commentary
hiding
between
the
words.”

“A
ridiculously
funny
parody…This
book
may
make
you
laugh
until
you
cry.”
“Shaffer
persuades
his
readers
to
notice
the
flaws
in
our
current
society.
He
challenges
us
to
question
who
we
are
idolizing
and
what
the
effects
of
such
adoration
could
be…Shaffer’s
writing
is
fast-paced,
fresh,
and
entertaining…[It]
will
have
you
giggling
until
the
conclusion.”
Bookriot.com, 8/1/12
“There
is
SO
MUCH
FUNNY!...Folks
who
readFifty
Shadeswill
recognize
that
Shaffer’s
plot
loosely
follows
the
same
plot
that
dragged
Ana
and
Christian
along,
but
there’s
still
plenty
of
fun
to
be
had
here
if
you
haven’t
read
that
awful
novel.”

“Unlike
so
manyFifty
Shadesparodies
that
are
no
more
than
quickie
one-joke
cheap
ebooks,Earl
Greyis
a
complete
book
from
a
traditional
publisher.
This
is
a
full-length
and
thought-out
piece
of
work…[Schaffer]
captures
the
rhythms of
the
original
but
exaggerates
E.L.
James'
literary
ticks
to
great
effect…Fifty
Shames
of
Earl
Greyis
the
literary
equivalent
of
a
goodSaturday
Night
Liveskit
and
the
perfect
gag
gift
for
anyone
a
little
to
obsessed
(pro
or
con)
withFifty
Shades.”
The Daily Beast, 8/09/12“At first glance, some of us might be dumb enough to thinkFifty Shames of Earl Greyis just another clone of the original successful series and buy it for that reason alone. Others will howl at the witty ploys Fifty Shames evokes to poke fun at E.L. James’s series.”

“[Shaffer]
steeps
the
trilogy’s
signature
elements
in
a
boiling
pot
of
wacky
water,
straining
it
into
a
brew
that
slides
warmly
down
your
throat,
only
to
bubble
back
up
in
spurts
of
laughter.”
