Everyone wants that clown gravy on their lollipop.
Endlessly inventive and quotable. Would love to see a whole book of stories about Jammo!

Misti Rainwater-Lites seems like the kind of person I’d like to hang out with. These stories were weird and entertaining. Very different from anything else I’ve read.

Well this is weird. Hello. I'm reviewing my own book. I love this book. I've read it several times. There's sex and weirdness and stream of consciousness and ridiculous pop culture references. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys laughing in the dog face of dystopia. Are we living in a dystopia? I think so.

These savage but playfully gritty stories could make Buk raise a glass in envy but really, Dan Denton said it best "she does it kamikaze style". I recommend a super-size helping of sit-your-ass-down and read this book. This is a gem you won't want missing from your collection. Favorites:
