Barry Twatface (series)

Barry Twatface a series of books created by O.K. Growling in 1946.

The scorn of literature
The first book, Barry Twatface and the Philosophy of Boners, attracted virtually no attention in the literary world whatsoever and was deemed to be the scorn of literature. Growling was arrested in September 1946 under the Obscene Publications Act, citing 'horrific boners' and 'too many drawings of genitalia' as the reasons for the case. Growling was also charged with indecent exposure whilst at a book signing because she showed the book to no fewer than one person.

Prison
She was sentenced to life in prison, and wrote her second book, Barry Twatface and the Chamber-pot of Commerce on the walls of her cell in her own excrement. To date, no-one has bothered to transcribe it, and tickets to view the fecal scrawlings went on sale between 1948 and 1956 before the writing was washed away by the caretaker. To date, this was the only copy of the 'book' ever made.

Mental asylum
Growling was taken to a mental asylum shortly after finishing her second book, and the third book, Barry Twatface and the Prisoner of Alcatraz was transcribed by her carer as she barked out random parts of the book during her stay to the hospital. She also barked out many obscenities, which were mistakenly transcribed. The book was initially released as Barry Twatface and the Arse of Cocking Bollocks before their mistake was noticed. The book was widely regarded as a wound in literature that will never heal. People criticised this portion of the book in particular: Dave the Hippogriff bent down to Barry and he climbed on his back.

''"Get off!" Barry yelled, before unspeakable things happened.''

''Barry awoke in a daze. He had no idea what happened, and didn't want to know.''

Brief period of sanity
Growling was released from the asylum in March 1950, and immediately began work on her next book. Through a combination of shock therapy and heavy assault, Growling was now mostly sane. This, however, had a major impact on her creativity, as it turns out her insanity was the cause of most, if not all of her creativity. Hence her new book, Barry Twatface and the Fire of Fire, was made with virtually no creativity, but was, however, her most popular book. The book launched a phenomenon known as 'Creeveymania', where action figures, plush toys and other merchandise revolving around Colin Creevey was very much in demand. The book was banned in 1953 for no reason whatsoever, and Growling once again spiralled into insanity.
