"I almost didn’t finish this book and that would have been a damn shame! Mike Salinas has authored an amazing book with his twisted mind. His writing style is clean, flows well and the plot gets juicer and juicer with every chapter. Talking bugs, hybrid animal insects, giant maggots- you got ‘em! The gross out level is delightful high. Mike’s insightful literary treatment of trauma and multigenerational trauma is appreciated. The ending is surprisingly touching, upbeat and hopeful. What starts out looking like some weird perversion with unlikable and gross characters ends on an upbeat and very philosophical way.

If you find that you don’t like the beginning, please continue on, don’t make that mistake- it’s totally worth it. If you like the writings of Christopher Moore I’m pretty sure you will enjoy the hell out of this book. If you don’t want frequent penis, dildo, or ejaculate references or believe things can be blasphemous this may not be the book for you.

Write on, Mike Salinas, write on!" — Goodreads Reviewer, 9/29/2025
