I'm certain that @claymcleod.bsky.social is as dialed into our societal vein as much as Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and he proves this with several short stories from Acquired Tastes. Today, I'm featuring Knockoffs. #MutantFam #MutantBookClub

Knockoffs follows a father who has a daughter that has a tablet addiction (I know that feeling), that buys his daughter a knockoff plushie of the latest craze, Tubby Wubbys, that have a sinister smiling face. Well, I'll let your imagination take you until you read the story.

This week I only have a third of the book left, and these these stories are only getting better; so, if you still haven't picked up that copy, be sure to go to your local bookstore and get a copy. Until next week kiddies, happy readings.

Spent release day wandering through NYC to see if I could see SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE at some of my favorite bookstores. Thank you to Greenlight Bookstore, Barnes & Noble Union Square and my very own neighborhood’s Taylor & Co. for stocking my brand new YA sci-fi horror novel. Means the world to me.
