Ice Cream & Venom is the first collection of short stories by Kevin Long, showcasing the full range of his talents from the full-on pulp comedy of "Little Note, Nor Long Remember" to the disturbing gothic nightmare that is "The Truth About Lions and Lambs," and five other stories as well: the humorously odd, yet strangely plausible alternate history of "The Man Who Would Not Be King," the bleakly apocalyptic superhero deconstruction of "Superheroes are Gay", the ironic oblivion of "Just Moments Before the End of the Age," the startling exploration of alien morality in "Dog Days" and the full-on paranoia of "Internal Bleeder."
Not your normal ray-guns-and-aliens fluff, Long tells original stories about unusual subjects. This book is the perfect introduction to the many and varied works of Long's style, which has been described as witty, informed, inventive, and occasionally hilarious.
