In a voice so unfailingly chipper it's suspicious, Alex Burrett
poses in fiction some disturbing yet certainly possible futures for
the human race (and other ambitious, earthbound mammals). Always
ready with an impeccable phrase or a sly wink, he shares stories of
the most darkly ironic sort, including a field report from a human
abattoir, a chronicle of dating Death, and, of course, the tale of
the goat that ate its own legs. These thirty brilliant, bizarre,
and morbidly hilarious "tales for adults" will delight anyone who
doesn't take life (or death) too seriously.
