Quite an eclectic collection of short stories this one. From dark to silly to melancholy, so despite most stories containing copious amounts of gore and not rarely pornographic scenes of some sort, the variety always keeps it fresh.
My favorite of the stories has to be Smart Marks for being able to make me giggle like a girl while still pulling at the ol’ heart strings.
3.5/5

Strange does it again
What a anthology. Seriously disturbing and strange. I really liked every story in this collection. My first bizarro author I have ever read and always impresses me with his writing. I recommend this book to all fan's of modern horror

This was a strange book to read, to say the least, but I enjoyed most of it, and it's strangeness. It's an anthology, and so has multiple stories in it, most filled with gore, which since I read this in October, fit the season.

Great collection of fucked up stories. Kevin Strange is also a really cool dude. Met him at Days Of The Dead Chicago.

This book was okay I only really liked three stories but the three I liked I did really enjoyed and thought were very creative.
Author's note:Everyone in my home town knew me for being out spoken and I won these awards and traveled here and there.I have a storm over my head and here are my new stories from said storm.(I wrote tiny reviews on every story after I finished them and spoilers)
Whale Farts: A story about fart people.Couldn't come up with anything else?A boy is beating on a dead whale and when it rains he goes in the body of the whale and there are gaseous people living in its body.At the end of the story he finds other boys beating on the whale and breaths all the gas in and is never going to let the gas out because he wants there other gas people to live in him.I have no clue why people who read this like this story.
Smart Marks:Great Chan is in pro wrestling and his body hurts and he has money problems.
Boohoo.He wants to kill himself? He does.
Slug Butts:Please don't waste your time with this story.In this town there are slugs living in everyone's butt cheeks.They eat the fat and then somehow come out through their intestinal track.
The Nowhere: Nowhere is a place that monster's come from and Mark-Paul "is hired" to go through a portal and find these people that went missing.You guessed it...He never comes back.
There's a little GG in all of us: This story was okay little people operating life sized robots.
Lich tits: I liked this story how can you go wrong with Lich hunting? You can't.I wish there was a part two of this in the collection of short stories.
TV Guide listing for bangbots: I will be honest I didn't even read this because the first page of it was so boring I couldn't find a reason he even put it in this collection of short stories.
The twins: The beginning of this story was so promising.This is a story of a guy whose wife runs over their child in the drive way and the guys bring him back to life and has to forever live with the consequences of bringing him back but the story line is all jumbled up and he talks about these tubes and sack and isn't very descriptive about them.
Popcorn planet:Best story in this collection of short stories by Kevin Strange.I don't come across a lot of stories in this genre of books that make me laugh but this was genus and hilarious and totally changed my attitude about Kevin Strange.
The burning river:This story was a little depressing but I thought was a great ending story because it is a apocalypse story about this things a person will really do when the world ends because you won't have a endless supply of food like other people assume and people will eat people and it isn't something people would want to do but more than likely what will happen if you were that bad off.

Well two Strange books finished in one day. Ot was a good day. This is Strange's newest collection and when I heard about it I quickly ordered it. All the Toxic Waste from My Heart did not disappoint. all of the tales in this book were fantastic. My favorite stories were Whale Farts, There's A Little GG in all of Us, and finally The Burning River. The last story mentioned had so much emotion to it and dread. Most would like to believe in the Apocalypse that they would be the hero, but just like this story shows...that's bullshit. You're going to do ugly, unthinkable things to survive. While Murder Stories For Your Brain Piece will probably always be my fav Strange book, this one has earned a place in my Toxic Heart.
