About the book: 2012 / Humiliations of the Flesh is an excellent collection of the twisted, darkly humorous and mind-blowing stories for which Bentley Little is so well known. Here you will meet a mischievous rodeo clown who may well be the embodiment of evil, or perhaps just an innocent bystander in a ring of random coincidences; a paranoid man obsessed with dental hygiene who begins to stalk his chosen victim, gradually infecting him with his own mania; a cynic forced to follow his wife to a "psychic surgeon" but confronted with a deadly reality that changes his views forever.
