Ebola Saves the Planet and Other Wholesome Tales by Matthew A. Clarke

Ebola Saves the Planet and Other Wholesome Tales Book Review

This is a wild ride worth taking!

Matthew A. Clarke compiles a bizzaro collection featuring eleven short stories with unique scenarios. Whether it's Pinocchio prostituting himself or an unusual girl with button eyes, the characters are imaginative and memorable as they navigate a variety of weird and eclectic scenarios. Several stories relate to the end of the world or realities where humanity must adapt to a new world which makes this a fascinating and unnerving collection.

With the eleven stories sit a few that stood out.

The collection starts with "Best Birthday Ever." A man gets to participate in his favorite game show. This story takes a hard look at how far someone would go to win a state-of-the-art cheese grater and a wheel of mature Frayton cheese.

"Mortal coil" will pull at reader's softer side as two young friends navigate life Post-Coil. Yes, the world is littered with grenade-like coils. Touch one and blow up. Teddy and friend Speedo must steer clear of these deadly devices as they go on an adventure.

This collection is well developed with a strong sense of voice from Clarke. Readers who love bizzaro horror and aren't squeamish will enjoy this five star collection! Buy it here!
