Horror, Sleaze, and Trash. These are 3 of the 4 of my most favorite things, (the 4th being Lactobacillus acidophilus because true happiness can only be experienced when having a healthy and fully functioning digestive system).
Thank you to the editor for providing free e-copy downloads here on my favorite bookish site.
My sick and twisted funny bone was tickled by these quick clever, and sometimes disturbing stories which were perfect to read in between commitments when I could only spare a few moments. The conclusion for most of these stories left me bright and breezy, my expression ranging anywhere from a smirk all the way up to an audible chuckle. Maybe y’all enjoy it too as long you don't have a problem with stories about a conjoined twins’ sex life (thank you Elizabeth Bedlam), keeping a stash of suffering suck boys (and thank you Anthony Dirk Ray), or scat-crafting leftover groceries off a bugger’s willy (and thank you too, Kiki Von Kristmass).

Prose in poor taste just like the book cover says. Good variety of fucked up stories.

Includes my story “Raspberry Heart”, but don’t let that scare you off from reading it, because lots of better writers are in here too!

'Simon fought to get the words out. His cock fell from the hooker's mouth. He was on edge. "Now." His word carried heavy urgency.' -from pg. 53 'Simon/Simone'
There are levels to this fuckery. How deep are you willing to go? Ha! Definitely put on a condom for this one though and get in John Waters mode. Prepare to be entertained and turn off the seriousness of your ridiculous day. A pre-read tequila shot is recommended. You're welcome.
You will gasp, squawk, shudder, gag, chuckle, finger, frolic, tug, diddle and question life, in general. You will feel sick. You will feel cured. Shocked? Eh. Plenty of that too, but many of these irreverent stories are just campy fun and will remind you of the outlandish 80's ironic gem: Tales from The Crypt. I was pleasantly surprised with many endings, unlike my love life.. (long pause, reviewer goes out to her car for a few healthy screams).
There was enough gut twists and u-turns in this collection to get me re-thinking I need to move to an area where alcohol delivery is available. ;p Stock up before digging through this can.
'Trashy Women' was clever. The imagery of 'Raspberry Heart' sticks with me. Really love that one. Hi Ben! 'Mother's Day' gets me choked up every year (mostly throwing up from thinking of my childhood) and this story was no different but, I cheered at the end. Holy babies. Also, guilty-pleasured myself to 'Simon/Simone'. I shall save this one in my brain and recommend it to people who I would like never to speak to me again :D Five stars for being an outrageous and wonderful hot mess. I feel so pure after reading this trash! (screams at roommate to take down all the mirrors... 'I'll pay you, just do it!')

An eclectic collection of trash, not to mention horror and sleaze, which regrettably includes my own story "Sometimes I Almost Feel Like a Real Human Being." Read at your own risk.
