New York City's cult storytelling sensation, Dandy Darkly, has dragged his hilarious, horrific words off the stage and on to the page in his first-ever published compilation. These tawdry, ticklish tales of sex and death are not for the faint of heart. "Fantastical fairytale horror, equal parts Tennessee Williams, Edgar Allen Poe and Bruce LaBruce with a dash of Brothers Grimm for good measure." (Time Out) "A decidedly wicked storyteller." (New York Times) "Brilliantly written -- like something Joseph Campbell, Kenneth Anger and Paul Lynde would concoct after passing around a gourd filled with shrooms." (Chelsea Now) "New York City's preeminent King of Halloween." (Out Magazine) "Stories of gruesomely compelling verve -- a cross between Pam Ayres, Liberace and Tales from the Crypt." (The Scotsman) "Simply one of the most thoughtful, hilarious and harrowing queer talents at work today." (Scotsgay Magazine) "The Homer of the 21st century." (Washington Square News)
