My Goat Ate Its Own Legs

<p><strong>Burrett's imagination is as fertile as that of Jorge Luis Borges's and he's more readable and funnier. --<em>The Independent on Sunday</em> (London)</strong></p><p><strong>A debut collection of tales that explores the weird what-ifs of evolution devotion and universal disaster</strong></p><p>In a voice so unfailingly chipper it's suspicious Alex Burrett poses in fiction some disturbing yet certainly possible futures for the human race (and other ambitious earthbound mammals). Always ready with an impeccable phrase or a sly wink he shares tales of the most darkly ironic sort including a field report from a human abattoir a chronicle of dating Death and of course the tale of the goat that ate its own legs. The thirty-one bizarre insightful and morbidly hilarious tales in <em>My Goat Ate Its Own Legs: Tales for Adults</em> will delight anyone who doesn't take life (or death) too seriously.</p>
