How to Eat Fried Furries

How to Eat Fried Furries by Nicole Cushing is a very strange book. It's written as if it were a promotional book given to attendees at the American Association of Furry Farmers trade show. It contains recipes for furries and "nonfiction" and short stories. Some of the stories relate to an imaginary 70s TV show called Ferret Force Five, which if it had existed would have been very strange indeed. There are other stories involving Pseudo-Amish starting a fake furry farm and the Easter Bunny trying to whack Santa Clause.

This is all very strange even by the standard of the other bizarro books I've read. It's certainly interesting though. After reading this book you'll never look at squirrels the same way again.

Cripple Wolf

Cripple Wolf by Jeff Burk is a collection of bizarro short stories. It's a darn good collection too. I think it's probably the best collection of bizarro stories I've read, which isn't actually saying much, since this is only the third one I've read. Still, I really did like it.

The titular story is about a wheelchair-bound werewolf who slaughters a plane full of fetishists. There's a Christmas story about a junkie version of Frosty the Snowman. There's a story about reality show featuring cannibal chefs. There are cats, space badgers, elderly punk rockers, and a park.

I really loved the werewolf story and the chef story. The rest of the stories were mostly pretty good too. However, the story with the park, "Just Another Day in the Park," was probably my least favorite in the book, as it seemed to be a lacking something.

I think this book is well worth the time of anyone who likes weird  stories and isn't bothered by gore.

Cthulhu Comes to the Vampire Kingdom

This is a weird, Lovecraftian, sparkly-vampire-filled, bizarro novel that I got a free pdf of from the Bizarro Brigade. It's a strange read.

It's set on a vampire world that formerly had oceans of blood and blood storms. Now the oceans are frozen and the storms are gone. The vampires are at their wits end. One faction wants to move underground so they can solve their problems through science. Another faction summons Cthulhu to save the planet's environment.

There are hamburgers, lolcats, a burning girl, penis monsters, and  things even more disturbing. I enjoyed it.
