description: Armed with a cardboard halo Larissa is out to save humanity. Or to at least make sense of a world where snakes swallow boyfriends closet monsters write memoirs and the downtrodden seek counsel at a shoe store. This book is a novel-in-collage each story a track in the album of Larissa's life.In Larissa's America monsters such as Bigfoot cower. A boa constrictor consumes her boyfriend from the ankles up. We meet Vlad the Impaler trolls goblins and more all wonderful grotesque caricatures of human foibles. Yet Larissa herself remains undaunted handing her halos to strangers warning them to 'be aware of your evil.' I love this book. It's a masterful work with abundant humor cutting insight into how we live.-- Wendell Mayo author of The Cucumber King of Kedainiai and B.Horror and Other StoriesTeresa Milbrodt writes funny inventive strange and engaging fiction ... astonishingly unique characters.-- Anthony Doerr author of Memory Wall
