The bacon storm is rolling in. We hear the grease and sugar beat against the roof and windows. The doughnut people are attacking. We press close together, forgetting for a moment that we hate each other. In Die You Doughnut Bastards, amputees, lonely young people, and talking animals struggle for survival against the freakish whims of nature. A typewriter made of fetuses is the source of woe for an expecting couple. Tao Lin rewrites The Human Centipede 2. A girl with a glass jaw hides an otherworldly secret. A demonic loner goes to a birthday party in Hell. You'll encounter a killer in a marsupial mask, a prison for anorexics, haunted pancakes, and a songwriter with a cult following. Surreal prose poems give way to personal accounts of alienation and modern love. Vegetarian narwhals are sold at the supermarket. And in a city that might be your own, zombie doughnuts are rising up. Kill yourself before they kill you. Or just kill yourself. Featuring original illustrations in the style of Daniel Johnston, Die You Doughnut Bastards is the latest way to drown, brought to you by Wonderland Book Award-winning author Cameron Pierce.

It's hard to describe what happens within these pages, mainly because it is a bizarro short story collection, but also because there are no links between the stories so one minute you could be reading about killer doughnut men, the next about goth animals and then love. Sandwiched between these tales are both pictures of strange monsters, and poems, which make this a very quick read. This eclectic mix of variety does make it an interesting read, and if there is a tale which is less interesting you know it won't last long before your sampling something else.
Whilst I have tried several bizarro books to date and tended to enjoy them; I did find this short story collection harder to enjoy. I think it may be just my own personal tastes but I didn't enjoy the jumping around which came from so many unreleated stories. If you are a bizarro short story fan then I think you will really enjoy this book as it is well written, if your new to bizarro then this might be too strange for you.
