The best one of the three! I was going to be specific about the individual stories, but, quite frankly, my memory's not what it used to be and I know I'm getting some of the names confused in my head and my Kindle's all the way in the other room so it's just not going to happen.

Anyway.

If you're into bizarro, TTwSC3 is everything you've ever wanted, and then some, and you probably won't have to perform any unsavory acts to get it.

If you're not into bizarro you're probably going to want to burn this and then scrub your eyeballs with steel wool. I won't stop you. If you read a book with "Cocks" in the title and didn't expect the rampant gratuitousness of TTwSC3, reading wasn't helping you much anyway.

This is, regretably, the first in the TALL TALL WITH SHORT COCKS series that I picked up. I was not disappointed. This anthology is a perfect snapshot of what is going on in the trenches of Bizarro fiction. Rooster Republic Press really has it's finger on the pulse of this fringe genre.

There are about fifteen stories in this anthology. You may not like them all but you will like many. Either way you will be exposed to.a wide swath of all kinds of bizarro fiction. This book (and its sister volumes) serve as a great primer for anyone who wants to get their feet wet in the bizarro genre.
