About the book: 2007 / Jayne Mansfield and Pythagoras. Walt Disney and the Virgin Mary. Giants with a subtle soul - and evil teenage witches. What unites so different " cultural" and "countercultural" icons? All of them are the heroes of the stories in the collection of the brilliant “fantasy hooligan” Paul Di Filippo! Black humor - and surrealism. Cynical banter - and very unorthodox plots. Unbridled flight of imagination - and the high style of punk culture from science fiction! “Be careful with these stories. If you don’t stop in time, an overdose is guaranteed.” Paul Di Filippo. “The sacred monster” of American countercultural fiction, fulfilling in its genre either the role of Michael Moore from science fiction, or the role of Malcolm McLaren from literature. “Nothing sacred...” “No political correctness...” For anyone, this sounds like a death sentence, but for the author cult “Steampunk” and “Ribofunk” - a compliment!..
