  • Jake's Monthly- Bizarro Anthology on April 01, 2012
    (no rating)
    Disclaimer: I have two pieces in this anthology, so I'm going to be just a bit biased. That said, Jake's choices of bizarro fiction is terrific. Some times you just need to read something that is odd, weird, silly, slapstick or simply nonsensical. And this anthology delivers the goods, especially as one can never have too many exploding men, heavily armed bovines, or lap dancers in a story. For our own sanity, Americans need more bizarro works like this one.
