TALES FROM THE WOEFUL PLATYPUS by Caitlin R. Kiernan Burton, MI; Subterranean Press; 2007. 1st edition hardcover. In 2005, Caitlín R. Kiernan surprised her readers with, Frog Toes and Tentacles, a small-form hardcover of “darkly weird erotica.” Now Kiernan follows that sold-out volume with a second collection of her unique brand of erotica, Tales from the Woeful Platypus. Like its predecessor, this book is illustrated by acclaimed artist Vince Locke (The Sandman, Batman, A History of Violence, Deadworld, etc.), and also like the first volume, it is unlikely ever to be reprinted.
