From Dust Bowl freakshows to modern day existential horror, Deathtripping collects thirty-five short stories written over a twenty-year period. Disturbing, provoking, surreal, absurd, and bitingly morbid, these stories are invitations to a world that wants to swallow the reader whole.

Reviewing for Cemetery Dance. Let it be known: Andersen Prunty is a goddamn storytelling genius. I love his weirdo-brain. This collection floated me for months during a global pandemic. THE MAN WITH THE FACE LIKE A BRUISE is still locked inside my mind as though I read it yesterday and it's been at least 2 months. I can't wait to share all my thoughts but in the meantime, this would be a great introduction if you haven't read any Prunty and if you have, this is a must! Either way, buy it.
Omg I have only read the first 2 stories and they are absolutely awful. Please, somebody tell me this book gets better? This is some of the worst writing I have ever read and I have read a ton of books- all, small press and indie writers.
