Description
Some stories tiptoe up and whisper in your ear – all sweetness and gumdrops and happy-ever-after-after-there-you-go.
Then, there are the weird ones.
We’re talking talking-chickens, blue plague spam monkeys, tug boats of unbridled and fetid fecundity, tulwar-swinging cab drivers, malls that maul you, gnawing on screwdrivers and jig-lining elder gods coming at you faster than a ride-on mow-down massacre mower shopping cart caravan.
This is a collection for the seriously messed up minds of all you listeners who have grown tired of the trite detritus of day-to-day storytelling. These are some of the weirdest, most messed up mind-bending kind of stories that have ever been written – and I’m daring you to listen to them now.
“Plague Monkey Spam” – a novella of spider-gods, storytelling and the kitchen sink. “Gnarly Ho-Tep Hoedown Two-step” – a story told over a hand of potato chip poker. “Hunger Time at the Midnight Mall” – a yarn of belly-grumble and fear. “The Last Curl of Gut Rope” – chicken, egg, chicken, egg, crack this riddle if you dare.
All of this wonderful madness is brought to you by Steve Vernon – the creator behind the cult novella classic – Long Horn, Big Shaggy: A Tale of Wild West Terror and Reanimated Buffalo.
Gabrielle Lee –
This handful of short stories brings listeners into some strange worlds. The first story is a long one and could use some tightening up. In some parts my interest in the story began to lag. The other stories are short and unique. These tales certainly fit the title given to this collection. The plots of these stories pull you in, but I felt there were too many details included in them and I was frequently becoming bored with the stories. Narrator Daniel Dorse does a good job of keeping the narrative flowing and has some interesting voices for the characters.
