When a young man discovers that his straight-edge lifestyle has fumbled the karmic football and injected his foot with an infected needle, he doesn’t take the news well. Rather than give his body to science, teach seminars on HIV, or become a spokesperson for a wooden clogs company, he sets out on a life changing mission, if only because it accelerates his downward trajectory.
He decides that if he cannot live the life he wanted, he will instead spend his days hunting down every negative experience he can. He truly embraces the ‘don’t knock it till you’ve tried it’ mantra and becomes the titular Bug Chaser.
Winner of the fictional Frey Fictionalized Memoir Award, Bug A-Z is comprised of alphabetical yarns woven together into a dark and bitterly comedic body-bag stuffed with puns as packing peanuts to preserve a living man’s corpse.
