Pabst Poo Ribbon!

HOW TO EAT FRIED FURRIES by Nicole Cushing (2010 Eraserhead Press (NBAS) / 96 pp. / tp)
What do you get when you combine humanoid ferrets, squirrels, Pabst Blue Ribbon, an apocalyptic poo storm, and a would-be lepus hitman? Pure bizarro magic.
Cushing's book is like a 70s variety show from another dimension, beginning with a FERRET FORCE FIVE tale that takes place in 1979 and serves as an extension to a short lived TV series: our heroes are sent into space to investigate a smelly situation: feces is raining down on the earth in epic portions, and our furry super team must not only locate the source of the poo, but confront a race of intergalactic squirrels bent on their destruction; then the "fiction" takes some brief detours as we're treated to some fine ferret farming techniques, some seldom-heard history lessons, and some obscure recipes.
SQUIRRELMAGGEDON: 2012 brings us back to the FFF world, this time focusing on a group of humans who discover the apocalypse is not quite like those Jack Chick gospel tracts had proclaimed. (The Fried Squirrel with Gravy recipe which follows sounds quite tempting).
Cushing's section on Wilhem Salvage, former star of the original 1979 FERRET FORCE FIVE TV series, is so well written you'll swear it's not fiction . . . or is it?
Words can't describe how hard I laughed at THE WHACKING OF FATHER CHRISTMAS, where the Easter Bunny's son, Sonny, is hired by Lepus Brasi (!) to take down Santa Claus. I've read many holiday-themed bizarro/horror stories, and this one's easily one of the best.
Packed with plenty of wit and clever dialogue, HOW TO EAT FRIED FURRIES is a blast and a half; hysterical one second and thought-provoking the next. Here's hoping this New Bizarro Author has a lot more to offer. Don't miss this.[image error]
