Description
This is a book about a video store clerk who becomes fascinated by a world of bizarre, pulsating buildings and creatures.
"This is a genuinely monstrous book that made me laugh until something burst and now I think I might be dying. You really need to buy one of these."-Warren Ellis, author of Crooked Little Vein and Transmetropolitan Video store clerk Darla Vogel is fed up, until one of her customers, a precocious home-schooled kid, offers her some of his meat-tinged candies. Darla takes a plunge down the rabbit hole into a surreal world of throbbing, veinous buildings, compulsory public nudity, weird creatures and more. If William S Burroughs, Lewis Carroll, H.P. Lovecraft and Harvey Kurtzman had a mutant lovechild, it might resemble Bob Fingerman's bold new confection,
Connective Tissue. Fingerman, a cartoonist and novelist best known for an acclaimed graphic novel (
Beg the Question, a Gen X classic) and an acclaimed prose novel (
Bottomfeeder), merges the disciplines in
Connective Tissue, a genre-bending and medium-mixing work best described as a fully illustrated novella.
