Isn’t it amazing when you find your top read of the year? This book knocked my socks off. I couldn’t stop reading from the first sentence, no word is wasted-it's used to create brand new innuendo’s that leave you feeling weird and violated!

I struggle with sci-fi; I really do. It’s something on paper that I should love, I am an uber geek when it comes to space and all the possibilities that the setting can lend itself to. But I'm too stupid to get to grips with it, all the lingo and mechanics leave me feeling like I'm back in the 90’s- chastised for not understanding basic maths.

It turns out that I only needed a few fucks, a few questionable names and a lot of dick references.

This is the collaboration that you’d always hoped for but weren’t sure if you’d get. It’s a splattery readers dream come true. The authorial voice was consistent throughout and there was an equal amount of filth in each chapter. The characters were well fleshed, and each had an interesting special talent.

I can’t wait for adventures with Titty Tater and Baby Gravy!

This was one crazy romp. I have to say I haven't laughed as much as I did with this one. This is a book that doesn't take itself seriously at all. One can tell by the chapter headings. However, I welcomed the more lighthearted approach to this splattering story.

You will hear the f word and nuts quite a bit in this one. As I write this review, I'm still laughing to myself. I appreciate the laughs I got from this one.

Also, that title is all too creative and wait till you see how the title was thought of. Plenty of alien goo and blood to be found. So strap on your space suit and prepare to go huntin!

Completely mental

Without a shadow of a doubt, the most bonkers story I've ever read. Id struggle to describe it to be honest, but it had me laughing so hard and is full of sexual innuendo, and filthy descriptives

“Centuries ago, a powerful sorcerer, Rektuhm Prolapsis, managed to entrap the untamable beast in a magical prison hidden away on the planet, Buttholia, down in The Valley of the Brown Eye. The valley was filled with turd-like asteroids, making it almost impossible to navigate without magic. The asteroids gave off horrible vapors which if breathed, would cause bouts of terrible vomiting, bad enough to kill you.”

You guys…. This story killed me. I’ve never laughed so hard in my entire life. I thought I was ready for this going into it but I totally wasn’t 😂😂💀

If anyone can pull off a splatter comedy, it’s Asher and Chisto! These two together are one hell of a team, that’s for sure! My jaw hurts from laughing 🤣

I can’t wait to see the next adventure they have planned for us. I’m so excited for this one to release and to see everyone’s reactions!!

This story was filled with some great character names and filthy one-liners. There were a handful of pop culture references throughout as well that I thoroughly enjoyed as well as some familiar mentions that you all will likely recognize within the splatter community 😉

Thank you both for allowing me to read early. You two are the best!

Buckle up and good luck to ya! Prepare to be smacked in the face at full force with sexualized slapstick comedy at its absolute best 🙌

Filled with scenes packed with action, dripping with gore, saturated with other fluids, and bladder releasing comedy, this story has it all. It was absolutely hilarious from the first page, and the fun and funny didn't let up as the characters and situations just kept ramping up the ridiculous camp of it all. Every form of innuendo, and I use that term as loose as the body part of a certain sorceress, is in your face as can be. I think the authors actually skipped the day innuendo was explained to the class. The combination of being completely grossed out and laughing so hard beverages are propelled from your nasal passages made this the ultimate fun romp. Even as I write this, I'm thinking of the one-liners and laughing and then gagging as I realize I'll never eat mussels marinara again. This was a truly wild ride that was over way too soon for me. I give a solo standing ovation to Chisto and Asher.

Cumtastic

I love asher darks and chisto healy and to have them together is incredible. Another fantastic title which i can't wait to read again and again, roll in the sequel

I giggled so very much.

[Sarah DeRosa · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was infatuated with the sheer audacity of this work! Almost every paragraph brought a surprise invoking some range of hilarity and emotion that left me both laughing and shocked. I’m not personally a Sci-Fi reader at all, but even I enjoyed this and found it easy to follow while still maintaining an entertaining plot. Labeling this as simply “creative” would be a disservice to the work the authors put in to make it truly unique and iconic. I promise you, this will be unlike anything you have ever picked up.

I typically do not venture into space/galaxy themed books as they're just not for me. However, this title and cover art of this book drew me in immediately. The loud cackle that exploded from my body during the Prologue upon reading about Rektuhm Prolapsis and planet Buttholia confirmed my commitment, and I knew this would be one hilarious ride.

I had so much fun reading this book. ABSOLUTE GOLD!!! I can't wait to see adventures Tater and Baby Gravy get into in the next book.

What the actual fuck did I just read and why did I absolutely LOVE it!!!

I don’t even know what to say without giving anything away. Just fucking read it!

[Kayla Roberts · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was such a funny, ridiculous book full of innuendos and weirdness. Never thought I would enjoy a galactic/sci-fi book with characters named Titty Tater and Baby Gravy 😅

[Cheng Bogdani · Rating 5 out of 5]

I saw Yvonne's review and this seemed out-there and interesting and well written enough to give it a try. I found myself between books and I wanted to read something light and easy before digging into my next reading project, and Journey to the Brown Eye Valley was exactly what I needed.

Titty Tater is the captain of the Butt Plug, a ship crewed by her band of bounty hunters famous across the galaxy. Her second in command and lover is Baby Gravy, who's primary weapon is a cybernetic penis that shoots acid. And that pretty well sums what to expect from this book.

Imagine John Waters having carte blanche to direct a script featuring a female version of Lobo written by Beavis and Butthead and you'll be in the ball park of how zany, over the top, gloriously campy, gory and full of lowest-denominator toilet humor this book is. No chance to overwork a pun regarding sexual or bodily functions is left undone; no opportunity to go Too Far with an anatomical impossibility is left unattended.

Is there a plot? There's a loosely connected set of circumstances and difficulties the crew needs to work through, but it's really just a set of excuses to make more puns and puerile analogies. Are the characters well rounded and complex? [Beavis and Butthead voice] "Hehehe - you said 'well rounded, like boobs'".

It was a short read, which was a good decision from the authors - there can be too much of a good thing. It was just the right amount of absurdity and adult humor to leave me wanting more. I am absolutely looking forward to the further adventures of Titty Tater and the crew of the Butt Plug.


Bechdel test? NO
Mako Mori test? YES
Vito Russo test? Maybe? one or more of the characters are ambiguous
Latif test? NO

Reading Level: easy adult
Romance: Not really
Smut: Yes, it's cartoony rather than 'erotic'
Violence: way over the top
TW: sexual abuse, genital abuse, pervasive poop humor

It’s been way too long since I finished a book or posted a review… so here goes. Sorry for the mega hiatus yall life bent me over dry.

But… The Adventures of Titty Tater and Baby Gravy by Asher Darks and Chisto Healy. (Also both from NC - safe but continue to send good vibes)

Giving this one 4.5 stars.

I wouldn’t necessarily say this was horror so I’m not rating it in terms of scary or gory per se, but in its unique nature and entertaining aspect.

I imagined this book the whole time, even with long gaps between reading I could still imagine what was going on. I would’ve LOVED to see this as an adult graphic novel or comic strip.

It did get a little hard to follow with the sheer number of characters and crazy names / words for things but it also added a huge level of fun and humor to the story for me.

I’ve never read anything quite like this, and I probably never will again. It’s so genuinely unique and the two authors meshed so well together, the writing was amazing and cohesive you couldn’t even tell the handoff between authors and who wrote what, where. That alone deserves its own praise.

[Amber Adams · Rating 5 out of 5]

I totally should’ve known what I was getting into before starting this one. But sometimes even when you know, you don’t really know. Ya know? Holy shit was this story a fun ride. It was chock full of weird alien creatures, hilarity and cum. Oh my god was there a lot of cum. If you are looking for a super bizarre, action packed story that tickles your funny bone (and your pickle) look no further! Thank you for this Asher and Chisto (ya heathens). I can’t wait for the next adventure!

[Oscar Brady · Rating 5 out of 5]

So this book is hilarious. The writing style is phenomenal and done very well as one voice until Chisto fucks it up at the end. I also loved all the dick jokes 😃

[Kimberly Spookybookwurm · Rating 5 out of 5]

The prologue had me laughing already with the plant life, so I knew this would be a fun break from the heavier books I have been reading lately, it felt much needed. The rest had me either laughing or smiling almost the whole time. I enjoyed the passages at the beginning of the chapters, they were funny too. Even their about the author’s was funny too.
I had so many characters I liked I couldn’t just pick one but I liked all of the members of The Roosters, I felt like each of them were special in their own way. I really liked learning about how they all became a group. Those moments had me feeling happy for them. I felt really bad for what the girls had to go through inside here, those parts were hard to read, but it made me hopeful for what would happen at the end, which pulled me through the heavier stuff. I felt sad for what they had to endure, but thankful for Tater and her crew’s empathy for them. I liked the NML planet and its inhabitants.
There were so many strong characters that it was impressive to me.
