Yeah... with the title and description I knew exactly what this was going to be even if I hoped it was more, and by more I mean subtle and not completely gonzo.

I really really wanted to just love this book. I mean come on, who wouldn't fall in love with a fucking title as fucking amazing as this? Well, apparently I judge the book by its cover. This is definitely not the best bizarro I have ever read, but I have to admit it is also not the worst. this book contains three novelas. The first, "Monster Cocks", was hands down the best story in the bunch, and actually one that I quite liked. It was hilarious it was satirical, and fun and it twisted unsexy sort of way. The other two stories just seemed to me to be the type of bizarre story you run across from time to time with the author is just trying very hard to be outrageous and offensive it doesn't really give substance to the story. So I liked 1 out of 3: didn't even score a Meatloaf on this one.

I did'nt expect much from this. It was garbage. I couldnt finish it. I only got it because the title intrigued me. Crap.

What did I just read

I read this book because how could I not based on the title! I'm still not 100% sure what I've read. Quick read as long as you don't care it you understand the story that is being thrown at you.

Never has a title followed up its promise with such accurate content. Each novella increases(!) in horrors, gore, shit-stains become mountains, oceans and universes of shit. Rampaging upon all that is decent. The final story is strangely beautiful and poignant.

Perfect bathroom reading.

Not for the faint-hearted, this set of stories is completely out there. I liked the last one the best, a warm-hearted love story with far too much fecal matter.

I did not like this book at all. Didn't make a lick of sense and I like silly goofy stuff, but this was ridiculous.

Mykle Hansen lives in Portland Oregon and I am pretty sure he has live feeds of the max trains which he monitors avidly for footage of people reading his books on mass transit. This is where I read the majority of this book and it was the most uncomfortable experience I have had in years. If he doesn’t have such a feed, he should chat with TriMet and work something out…

I would welcome a chance to interview him and dig into the crackpot lounge of his brain for cigarette butts.

I loved this book, and as my introduction to the splatterpunk genre, I do not think that I could have lucked out better. If you read the below summaries and find even vacant humor, you should check this book out. Not even vacant humor?… leave this one alone. The exclusion to this logic would be every IT admin in the world, as they should read this regardless of their opinion. Monster Cocks will make them chortle between sessions of slack jaw amazement.

‘Rampaging Fuckers of Everything on the Crazy Shitting Planet of the Vomit Atmosphere’ is broken out into three novelettes (the cover says novels), ordered as follows:

MONSTER COCKS: This is the tale of a man who finally succumbs to the spam advertising in his email box. In an effort to increase his penis size, and by proxy impress the woman he obsesses over, a man buys every penis enlargement gimmick on the market and then takes it all at once. Things fail to go as planned when his penis begins to take control of daily life.. and grows it’s own eyes..

Every chapter has a big penis drawing as the header. I found this to be both awesome and embarrassing. It all depended on if someone on the train was looking over my shoulder. In some cases it made people give me more room, allowing for more comfortable transit on the max. This chapter is a space maker as people give you room, unsure what kind of person would be reading it.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF AGNES CUDDLEBOTTOM: Scientists learn how to fold space allowing for matter to be shrunk to the nth degree. The only problem is that organic matter tends to explode once it reaches a certain point unless it is encased in like material. Tested on an 80 year old drug addicted prostitute, scientists learn that by shrinking the material and having it reside in the anus of a comatose whore, the explosions can be avoided. This is a journalistic interview piece with all the people who explored the uncharted territory of Agnes Cuddlebottom’s anus prior to the terrible catastrophe that the world never saw coming.

Every chapter has a big pair of ass cheeks. This was less troublesome on the train as when squinting, it would appear like a drawing of a peach.

CRAZY SHITTING PLANET: In a world drowning in the trash and fecal matter of a floating sky paradise, what is a boy to do with his days? Living every day ingesting trash and plastic, allowing the organisms in his body to assist in turning garbage to nutrients. When a boy and his best friend are caught in a tidal wave of liquid shit, they must struggle to survive and find a way to coexist with the ins and outs of day to day, floating in an ocean of poo on a very strange life raft… Oh yeah, there are pirates there too.

Every Chapter was headed with a steaming drawing of curly-que poo. This one was hard on the train. One particular day, a woman was standing over me while the train broke down. After forty minutes of her watching me turn pages, when we were finally moving again she would only make huffing noises at me and feign interest in the ceiling. Later someone else stopped me before departing the train. From 30 feet away, they saw the title and cover and had to.. HAD TO know what in the good goddamn I was reading and laughing over. The people sitting near this person were not as interested in the description I shared.

That’s it, go buy it if you want it. Then come back here and tell me what you thought of Lassie’s adventures.. I am interested in your opinions :)

I read the first two novels a few weeks ago and decided to read the last one yesterday. It wasn't bad. My favorite story was the first one about the guy with a very small member. poor poor man. the second story was the most bizarre but quite fun. The last was not as good.

I am in fact in a conundrum about rating because my opinions are quite varied please ignore the stars
