The Horse in My Garage and Other Stories

By: Patrick F. McManus

Narrated by: Sean Pratt

The Horse in My Garage and Other Stories is a hilarious addition to Patrick F. McManus’s existing work in humor. The author weighs in on his childhood, everyday life, and outdoor tales with his typical exaggerated commentary that will elicit a belly laugh from all types of listeners.

Read about the antics of Patrick’s friends Rancid Crabtree and Retch Sweeney in such stories as “Shaping Up for the Hunt” and “Bear Hunters”. McManus plays off the recent obsession with hoarders in his surprising story “The Lady Who Kept Things”. In the titular story, meet Patrick’s horse, Huckleberry, and enjoy the experience of all the problems that come along with owning your own horse - or keeping him in the garage.

Other great stories include “Catch-And-Eaters”, about the importance of a forked stick when fishing; “$7000 TV Historical Extravaganza”, a look at one director’s loose interpretation of historical accuracy and political correctness; “A Lake Too Far”, concerning the woes of Patrick and his wife, Bun, on a fateful birding trip in Australia; and “Chicken Chronicles”, which involves Patrick’s memory of wandering around naked in the chicken yard when guests came to call.

So pull up a chair, sit back, and enjoy laughing to the hilarious adventures of Patrick F. McManus in The Horse in My Garage and Other Stories.

Witty and enjoyable

We loved it. It's witty and enjoyed from age 11 to 45. Well done.

Classic Comedy

Standard issue, typical McManus.

Bill Heavey was the gateway author that lead me to McManus and I never regretted the decision to read is work… I found myself laughing out liud, by myself, listening while bumbling down the road in my old truck.

His simple, hilarious observations, correlation and comments make me re-evaluate my approach to life as well.

You don’t have to be a fan of the outdoors to appreciate this humor…. But it makes it THAT much funnier if you are.

i just love McManus!

i've been reading McManus ever since i was young, before which my parents read him to me. we are big fans and i was thrilled to find him listed among the authors of this app. whether outdoorsy or not you'll laugh yourself silly at his stories and undoubtedly find yourself a much better ourdoorsman after listening to his anecdotes.

Not up to par

Not at all what i’ve come to expect from this terrific author. Usually filled with funny stories of the area of the northwest where I live this was disappointing in that funny stories were not like they were in his other books. I Would suggest Kerplunk if you really want a good laugh.Also it has a different narrator from Norman Dietz who has done a terrific job in the books I’ve already listened to.

Funny Enjoyable Stories

A collection of funny and entertaining stories that I am sure I revisit from time to time.
