This was a fun little short story. I chuckled in some places. i had to go back a bit at the end to see if i missed something but i didnt. people talk weirdly in this book like it was a bit stilted but it wasnt horrible.

This is a strange short story. I have kind of gotten used to from the author T.E. Antonino in some of his other stories. I found the story interesting and different. I am not sure I liked the ending. It kind of just stopped. I believe I understood what it he expected the reader assume. Not sure I liked the ending.
Comical
What happens when a man has been driven too far? This is a comical short of a man who lets revenge get a little froggy.

Quite good
A quick read. And a good one. A man may be losing his marbles over a croaking frog. Who will win? Man or beast?

This was a lot of morbid fun. The story is centered on our hero, Marvin Snicks. Marvin is the head inspector in the Sassy Starlet High Heel Factory and things haven't been going so well lately. His life seems to be falling apart and the source of all his misery is a frog that sits outside his window and croaks all night long. The croaking is driving him mad and we get ringside seats to the crackup.
There's something of Toole's Ignatius J. Reilly in ole Marvin Snicks. There's no mention of pyloric valves here, but the slight resemblance still tickles at the back of my mind. My evidence for this assertion wouldn't hold up in a court of law, but maybe Marvin is the country cousin? Either way, this book works wonderfully as a palette cleanser after a longer, denser book. A way to quickly decompress after being completely absorbed in another world without risking the psychic bends. Four stars.
