Bitchfight
I had trouble catgorizing whether this is a story or book review. It is a stand alone book, but Dr. Arnzen refers to it himself as a novelette. So I chose story.
This is a delightful bit of horrific reading. This may be one of the most disturbing thing I've read in a while. It wasn't the gore that got me so much as the premise. The truly scary thing about this story is people would really do this if it were possible.
If a man could have sex with a dog and raise a breed a puppies for fighting they would do it with little thought. Not all men, but those who enjoy things like rooster and dog fighting. These are gruesome games. I would imagine that if humans could make human-sized roosters they would do that too. It would be Foghorn Leghorn fight.
The other scary thing is how easily the main character turns to supporting these strange creatures if no the fighting lifestyle.
The only real question i had about the whole thing is what rancid butter smells like. I've never smelled.
If you can get your hands on this one, read it. It's worth it. (The text only comes in a limited fashion so many leatherbound and paper back editions.) FYI, I picked mine up on Ebay from the publisher.
