It's the kind of thing you need to read a few times, like old poetry, only less boring. Seemingly disconnected short bits, long bits, prose poetry, plays. But not that you feel jostled from one thing to the next - more like thinking, where this thought naturally but unpredictably maybe leads to that one. Engrossing imagery that sticks to the inside of your eyelids. Darkness handled with the innocence, lightness, the awakening curiosity of an eight year-old boy. One of those precocious ones that

Sam Pink has a way with words, to put it mildly. Much of I Am Going to Clone Myself Then Kill the Clone and Eat It is humorous due to its outright zaniness.

I've interviewed Sam Pink, I've exchanged several e-mails with Sam Pink, I've read his stories on-line, I have read his blog and I have even read marveled at his artwork, yet as I read through his debut collection, I don't know if I know anything more about Mr. Pink then when I started.

Stay free with thermocontrol is a pretty good invention but this book keeps my thermo in even more control. If the 7 habits of highly effective people was available in book form, it would be this book.

I told them that "Sam Pink is a new author I'm trying out."
I read a couple more excerpts and every single friend (three of them in the room at the time) asked if they could borrow the book after More...

A group of flash fiction explosions centered on body parts and bodily fluids, dead animals and Katie Couric. That, and the inability to connect with the world, with others and with oneself.

I think what I liked most about this book was when I felt like I was just going to the mailbox to get the mail, and then the front lawn opened up and I fell in, this book was what saved me.

This is Mario Bros Three. The whole way. The whole time. Raccoon tales make it work and Sam Pink spits fire.
