My Goat Ate Its Own Legs - Softcover
30 utterly original, darkly surreal and dangerously funny tales unfold in the present, past and future in mythic space and the not-quite-ordinary everyday world. In them you will meet a panoply of unforgettable characters, including the ex's of both God and Death, a dog addicted to cocaine, a couple who literally merge through the intensity of their mutual lust; and another who eat their kids. And of course, the goat that ate its own legs.

About the Author:
In a voice so unfailingly chipper it's suspicious, Alex Burrett poses in fiction some disturbing yet certainly possible futures for the human race (and other ambitious, earthbound mammals). Always ready with an impeccable phrase or a sly wink, he shares stories of the most darkly ironic sort, including a field report from a human abattoir, a chronicle of dating Death, and, of course, the tale of the goat that ate its own legs. These thirty brilliant, bizarre, and morbidly hilarious "tales for adults" will delight anyone who doesn't take life (or death) too seriously.
Alex Burrett lives in London, where he works in advertising. This is his first collection of stories.
