Tank You and More

Drawing on twenty years’ experience as a bartender Nancy Preis creates strange wonderful and sometimes scary characters in her deviant short story collection Tank You and More. If you’ve got an hour or a mere fifteen minutes take a twisted vacation of the mind in the spirit of Stephen King and The Outer Limits. In “Tank You” meet a friendly plumber who can’t wait to introduce his dirt-eating bacteria that can easily keep your bathroom spotless—along with everything else in the house. Meet Enola in “Country Fried;” she loves visitors especially when they’re spicy and well done. If twisted romance is your forte meet the paramours of “Love on a Fence Post.” You’ll come across some light-hearted mind trips in “Dave” and “The Ghost of Constance Fortunese.” However even in her lighter moments Preis still finds a way to make you uncomfortable. Her stories are pulled from real life and skewed to represent what is best worst and creepiest in us all. Take a trip to the dark side and be thankful you don’t live there.
