The stories included in Andrew Hood's sophomore collection are beautiful, gross, funny, and personal. The Cloaca is a train wreck of awesomeness. It's your high school gym coach, drunk and dishing dirt on all the other teachers on the crosstown bus-a stomach-turning spectacle that'll make you laugh out loud now, feel bad later. You won't be able to look away for an instant. | The Cloaca by Andrew Hood, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
