ummmm..... I'm not entirely sure what I just read. It was wild and weird and I'm just trying to process this whole book. But I kind of enjoyed it
I guess a horror comedy book that is literally quite wild, like I'm talking on acid wild. Like there is a talking sled known from the movie Citizen Kane and Rick Allen from Def Leppard's amputated talking arm.

I'm honestly leaving this unrated right now cause I really don't know how to rate it

Five mutha-fuckin' stars for Douglas "Mutha Fuckin' D" Hackle's THE HOTTEST GAY MAN EVER KILLED IN A SHARK ATTACK. This book is the culmination of everything I admire about Hackle's work and thus represents a master work of Bizarro fiction. This is like Hackle's Dark Tower, every awesome quirk of his writing makes an appearance in some shape or form in this book.

Don't be put off by the title either. This is not one of those odd erotica stories that are all the rage lately. This is full throttle, pure Bizarro. There are tiny polar bear headed people, sentient movie star sleds, Cuban baby ghosts, CREE CRAWS, SLEE SLAWS, Pop-dots! and ;adn;23r;nlkj! And even Rick Allen's severed arm! Yes, slice!!!

Douglas Hackle is a mutha fuckin' ninja of Bizarro. If you don't read this you are not well read. If you are not well read, you are dumb and ignorant. If you are dumb and ignorant you can't get a job. If you can't get a job, you can't afford to read this book. So read this book before you can't afford to read this book. Yo mamma!

I once heard a story about how Screamin' Jay Hawkins wrote "I put a spell on you" he was locked in the studio with a case of Rum and some fried chicken, 12 hours later all was consumed and the "Love song" had been created. Banned cos it was too bizarre and featured cannibalism; with one hell of a strange live performance featuring coffins, snakes, fireworks and a smoking skull known as Henry it has to be one of the craziest songs ever.

My question is..."what the hell was Douglas Hackle eating and drinking whilst locked away writing this book?"

If I mention anything about the content of this book I'll only be ruining the experience, so get a copy of read it, read it to your kids and read it to other peoples kids then watch their minds melt.

I'm not sure I'll ever get the chance to read anything quite like this again. Thanks for ruining all future books for me Mr. Hackle

I voted for this book in the 2016 Goodreads Choice awards as a write-in. So should you, for the same reason you should watch that TV show where Nick Jonas plays a gay MMA fighter: Isn't it about time that cishet men pandered to the gay men of the world? They've been pandered to by women for-fucking-ever; their turn to do the pandering! C'mon boys, take it all off, get it on with someone you don't really want to, and suck (!) it up sex object.

I mean, fair's fair, amirite?
