9 short stories that will make you shake your head and say What the Fuck was that (for example: Sex with Portuguese Garden Gnomes.)
Review:
I loved all of these stories. When I first started reading them I found the writing a bit jumpy but as I got used to that the stories really kept me enthralled. I really enjoyed the disturbed mind of Wolfrom and his (that's right he is a he) take on "typical" story lines and his use of myth and stereotypes to push his stories forward. My favourite of the stories was “Vegans Are Fucking Delicious” which has just the right amount of cannibalism for a love story. All in all I recommend you read this book if you are tired of the typical paranormal mass-produced crap publishers keep feeding us and are looking for a more entertaining alternative.
8/10
memorable quotes:
"I had a couple of nibbles, but Maggie ate most of him; to be honest, it was not as bad as I expected, and while I certainly felt an urge to brush my teeth, I was left with a feeling of power that I'd never gotten from my summer internship as a dominatrix for war amputees."
