In the first book from one of this generation's hottest and boldest young comedians, Daniel Sloss presents a transgressive and hilarious analysis of all of our dysfunctional relationships, and attempts to point us in the vague direction of sanity.

Daniel Sloss engages, enrages, comforts, and gets audiences roaring with laughter. In his irreverent Netflix and HBO specials, he has tackled everything from male toxicity and friendship to love, romance and marriage. Sloss proudly claims that his brutally honest dissection of relationships on-stage has single-handedly caused more than 300 divorces and 120,000 breakups.

Now, in his first book, he picks up where his specials left off, and goes after every conceivable kind of relationship - with one's country (Sloss's is Scotland); with America; with lovers, ex-lovers, ex-lovers who you hate, ex-lovers who hate you; with parents; with best friends (male and female), not-best friends; with children; with siblings; and even with our own mortality.

In Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die, every human connection gets the mercilessly funny Sloss treatment as he illuminates the ways in which all of our relationships are fragile and ridiculous and awful - but also valuable and meaningful and important.

Daniel Sloss finds About the Author descriptions wanky and outdated. He would just like you to watch his fucking comedy specials. The publisher, on the other hand, would like you to know that Daniel Sloss is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning Scottish comedian and writer. He has created eleven solo shows, toured them in theatres, music venues, and arenas across fifty countries to rave reviews, and his specials, including X on HBO as well as Dark and Jigsaw, on Netflix, can be seen in a total of 190 countries. Despite the relationship and marital mayhem he has caused, Sloss still believes in love. Sloss was born in 1990 and lives in Scotland, his 'forever home'.

Reviews for Everyone You Hate is Going to Die: And Other Comforting Thoughts on Family, Friends, Sex, Love, and More Things That Ruin Your Life

This is the Pandora's Box of self-help books. -- Conan O'Brien When I was told that Daniel Sloss had written a book, I was immensely interested since I'd resented him already by watching his standup specials - for his quick wit and free-associative irreverent style that I thought I'd originated. Spoiler alert: Don't be disappointed if, by reading this book, everyone you hate doesn't die, but what a title. And what a book. It's smart, acerbic, and incredibly funny. I suggest you read it. And anything else Daniel sends our way. He's a very special comic mind and one that is a gift to those of us who need to hear from our best, hilarious, demented, smart friend. -- Bob Saget The only thing wrong with this book is that at my age everyone I hate is already dead. -- Peter Bart [Sloss is] dirty, sweet and clever. -- Elise Czajkowski * The New York Times * He tells jokes that are transgressive, that are shocking, that are dark enough to emphasize that he's not some kind of pious, soggy, joyless hector. -- Sophie Gilbert * The Atlantic *
