The Littlest Hitler is a 2006 collection of short stories by Ryan Boudinot.

Plot edit

The book has characters who have occupations such as drugstore workers and pharmacists. The short stories have things such as a cannibalistic mother, serial killers, zombies and terrorists. The last story is called "The Newholy" which has to do with immigration.

Reception edit

A Publishers Weekly review says, "Reminiscent of early Rick Moody or the short stories of Daniel Handler, each of Boudinot's 13 stories is a microcosm of weirdness imbued with imagination and maniacal wit".^[1] A Kirkus Reviews review says "When Boudinot writes shtick, he's tiresome. When he writes fully developed stories, he's abrasive, thought-provoking and explosively funny".^[2] The book was Publishers Weekly's book of the year.^[3]
