Sound bizarre? It is. It's also blistering witty, extremely violent, filled with acidic one-liners and lashings of gore. This book (the autore remains nameless) is for anyone who loves a bit of anarchy in their Leggere material. The plot jumps all over the place and te have to keep up and still,just when te think you've got it all figured out, there's a twist.For it's sheer inventiveness, this book is highly recommended.
Here is a eccentric and eclectic selection of bizarro short stories da one of the leading writers in the field Andersen Prunty.
There are over twenty tales in all, covering such weirdness as a man who puts a dog into orbit, a father who throws rocks at a kids head, a balloon-man who loses his secret power and a competition that revolves around injuring pedestrians to earn points and win money.
All these stories are exceptionally well written, brimming with invention and weirdness. Some lean on the horrific side of literature,some the più humorous and some a wild mixture of sorrow, fear and hope.
If te are new to the bizarro fiction movement, te could start here quite happily. This book isn't as extreme in terms of sex and violence as other collections but none the less an enthralling read about seeing the world through a glass askew.

I have read quite a few short story collections and this is one of the best I've read. I think I liked it because not matter how dark, gross and horrifying the stories there's an underlying insane Glee to all of them like mad people laughing at the moon while they eat their own fingers. There isn't a bad o boring story on mostra here. All are well-written and the piece on the whole is also well edited.
Try this ebook, it's brilliant.
Thank you.
