Rating: 4 out of 5

Imagine waking up one morning and you're a clown. Face paint, floppy shoes, the whole bit. No one knows why it happened and no one really cares because everyone hates clowns. That is only half the story though.The other half deals with clowns disappearing and mysterious bicycle riders that have Christmas lights on their bikes. In a 96 page book you would assume that at some point this story would collapse like a clowns whoopie cushion but it doesn't  and even throws in one of the most unlikely villains you'll ever enounter.This is a bizarro tale that truly captures your attention because C.V. Hunt had given us a well written tale that may be short but it is far from  boring. This is the type of bizarro story that isn't overly offensive or bizarre. Granted a story that revolves around clowns may seem pretty out there but it actually isn't.Other People's shit is well written and handles the subtle plot changes really well. The characters may seem a bit crude and rough around the edges and Isaac may in fact be a bitter bastard but he woke up one morning and he was a clown so I can understand why he's a bit bitter.C.V. Hunt has given us an interesting novella that won't really help if you're scared of  clowns  or nor will it help if you're sexually attracted to clowns. It does happen to be a great addition to the bizarro genre so if you're a fan then pick this up.
