Here are 33 weird, wonderful stories concerning men, women, teleportation, wind-up cats, and brown paper bags. By turns whimsical and unsettling??frequently managing to be both??these short fictions describe family relationships, bad breakups, and travel to outer space.
Vukcevich's loopy, fun-house mirror take on everyday life belongs to the same absurdist school of work as that of George Saunders, David Sedaris, Ken Kalfus, and Victor Pelevin, although there is no one quite like him. Try one of these stories, it won't take you long, but it will turn your head inside out

Some really inventive and unusual stories. Overall a decent, enjoyable collection of bizarre fantasy/SciFi with some great, original ideas.
For the most part I didn't find much emotional connection, the tales were mostly about stuff happening and the exploration of quirky ideas. If there had been some more emotion or feeling or humanity them I would have given more stars. ( )

A large collection of short surrealist fiction - not my usual taste, but there are some interesting things in here. My favorites were "Finally Fruit," about a woman who becomes a monster; "Pretending," about a group of atheists who decide to pretend that one of their group is a ghost, and "Whisper," a pretty classic creepypasta-ish story about a guy who tape records himself sleeping to prove he doesn't snore and catches something else.

I liked this a lot. The publisher, Small Beer Press, was having a before-Christmas sale and this one looked interesting, even though I don’t read a lot of “fantastic literature” or whatever the genre of this is. Some stories were too strange for me (which is my way of saying that I didn’t understand them) but overall this is one of those books that you read and it fills you with gratitude. I laughed out loud a lot, which is hard to do this time of year especially. So thank you, Mr. Vukcevich, and when you get a moment please write some more short stories. ( )

I returned my library copy when I ordered my own from the publisher; I just had to have it. I only give it five stars, because I can't give it six.Folks might get scared off by the collection's description of being "surreal," but it's still very accessible--the cover illustration is definitely appropos. There were two stories that might have been a little on the too-surreal side, but the "The Finger" more than made up for them both. The best story of them all, "White Guys in Space" is absolutely brilliant as a multi-layered cultural commentary that's thinly disguised as a piece of mysogynistic 50s sci-fi pulp shlock.I was drawn to it because of the brevity of the stories, but I noticed that these were different from the tightly-written-to-the-point-of-breaking microfiction/flash fiction stories I've been reading lately. These were short, short stories that really were precisely as long as they needed to be. ( )
