The Animals Have Started Walking on Two Legs

ABILENE, Texas - Sept. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- The first installment to The Ugliness Men series is now available at Amazon and other online book retailers. Peter Trinidad, and the other strange minds behind the newly minted Cosmic Pizza Buffet, present the first story entitled: Burdens.

In the long years after the world ends, elder empires struggle toward an uncertain rebirth under the shadow of the relentless demiurge Pantherian. The war in the west rages as the conflict reaches a boiling point, the most peculiar band of oddities form together. A horse-headed man, a wizard always in need of a drink, and a cast of other strange, unlikely souls struggle against the growing darkness. Machinations of a foe twisting benign beasts into monsters in service of a scourge seek to end all humanity.

Join Burroughs Viklund, a morose man-monster who'd rather be tending his watermelons instead of saving the world. By his side follows Shaw, a somewhat shifty magus reluctantly willing to die and die again for his Art. Viday, a truly deer friend, guides them on their journey through the spindled Island of Caiphon on an adventure laden with action, wonder, survival, talking dogs and surprisingly effective (though certainly off-label) uses of canned goods. Lose hope for the future of humanity, while having a blast doing it!
