'These are the adventures of Sam, Jake and Dylan, three degenerate losers who live on the 42nd floor of Hazy Towers, the worst apartment block in the known universe. They don't have jobs, or buy food, or ever pay a single cent of rent to their spineless landlord, Mr Hayes, because it's so much cheaper just to slam the door in his pitiful face. Still, government handouts only buy so much booze, and the boys are always looking for a crazy way to make a buck.
'In Episode One - Black Market Prawns - Jake strikes a deal with a dodgy mariner to acquire one tonne of prawns illegally obtained from the horribly polluted harbour. Sounds like a good way to earn some coin, but during the height of Summer and without adequate refrigeration, the race is on to offload the goods before the funk really settles in.
'Will Sam, Jake and Dylan convince the suspiciously smiling owner of the crappy restaurant downstairs to buy their ripening stock? Or perhaps their brand new recipe for Prawnshakes ('Prawns and milk, together at last') will prove a big hit with the unsuspecting public? Find out the answers to these, and other weird questions you never would have thought to ask, in the stupid tale that is Black Market Prawns.'

'In Episode Two - The Summer of Our Discontent - the heat is driving everyone increasingly insane. Sam is trying to concoct new cocktail recipes using leftover spirits stolen from parties, Jake is building something mysterious and possibly atomic on the roof, and strange forces are at work in the abandoned 'Pool and Gymnasium Facility Section' which seem to defy the laws of time and space. It's even possible that this episode is stupider than the last one!'

'If Hell froze over, would everyone have to do what they said they'd only do when Hell freezes over?
'Satan joins the colourful cast of Sam, Jake and Dylan Want Money, dealing with an irksome maintenance issue that results in Hell's air conditioning system breaking down. Hell freezes over, and as a result the boys have to save their treasured neighbour Scarlett from a fate more horrible than the abyss - a dinner date with the wettest of rags, Mr Hayes!
'Hell Freezes Over continues the hilariously unnecessary saga (if three short books can be called a saga) of the worst housemates in history.'
