More Description
Instruction Manual For Swallowing is a collection of fourteen short stories about what happens when ordinary people collide with bizarre, fantastical situations: a man discovers he has testicular cancer on the day that a Godzilla-like monster attacks the city he lives in; a kitchen-hand is under terrible peer pressure in a restaurant for zombies; a husband and wife discover they are pregnant with 37 babies; and a man travels into the engine room of his own body, to discover Busta Rhymes at the controls. The stories are grotesque, hilarious, unnerving and moving. No matter how outrageous the subject matter of the stories, they have at their heart genuine human experiences that are common to us all. Bonus BackLit materials will include an author interview and two previously unpublished stories.
