Boneyard Babies

Boneyard babies, gather round! Come suckle the Musty Cow's Teat of Death! A man searches for his lover in a medical laboratory where people are transformed into nightmarish mutants. An undead prostitute enters the underworld to face off against a jackal-headed god. A woman incarcerated for her lipstick addiction must eat her own limbs or face imminent death. A tumor recounts its life with a man named Applewide. In the morbidly surreal universe of World Fantasy Award-winner Alan M. Clark, there are only two types of people: those who are monsters, and those who are eaten by monsters. Proceed with caution.

From the Inside Flap

"If you think Alan Clark's art is darkly delightful, just wait until you read his twisted and fantastical tales. I promise it will make weird and wonderful pictures in your head. And isn't that what we all really want?" - ANN VANDERMEER, Hugo Award-winning Editor of Weird Tales "Alan Clark has one wicked sense of humor." - ELIZABETH MASSIE, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Sineater. "We all know Alan Clark is one hell of an artist - in fact, one of the best the imaginative field has ever produced. Turns out he's one hell of a writer, too. If that's not a one-two punch that will knock you out I don't know what is." - AL SARRANTONIO, editor of 999 and Stories (with Neil Gaiman)
