Animal Husband

Review of Book The Devil shows up in a church basement, a repair guy gets to work on a girlbot, a skateboarder freezes mid-air, a prisoner stabbed in a Mexican jail, a tourist loses her identity down an outhouse hole, one memorable night in the slums of Rio, tryouts for a biblical porn movie - these are but a few of the wildly entertaining scenes included in the fifty-eight exceptional stories in the new collection, Animal Husband, by Nancy Margulies. Warning: do not attempt to predict the ending of any of these stories. They will fool you every time. Suggested Use: read one or two each evening before bed to insure bizarre dreams Alternative uses: Give as gifts for no special occasion. Your friends will thank you. Read aloud to amuse your partner or friends. "Animal Husband is filled with stories wild and wacky, quixotic and quirky. They are irreverent and dark, or resolute and buoyant. But mostly they are inventive and poignant, conveying a vision and a voice deeply grounded in the truth of human experience." - Chip B.
