Review: ‘The Alien Buddha’s Full Moon Mashup’<br/><br/>By Andrew Arnett<br/><br/>It amazes me how many excellent writers are working today. Perhaps the saying is true, as the darkness grows, the stars shine ever brighter. The all wise and very strange Alien Buddha Press has hand picked from this bounty four wordsmiths, slow broiled in the new anthology "The Alien Buddha's Full Moon Mashup.”<br/><br/>A collection of four weird tales. Dark and delicious. Like licorice for the soul. World building twilight zones a kitty corner from your apartment complex.<br/><br/>“Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires” is a cautionary tale of the hazards of nature. Or more accurately, the hazards we bring to nature.<br/><br/>“The Nuckelavee” presents a mystery - what to do when a stranger leaves the perfect pie on your doorstep? You eat it of course, but at what cost?<br/><br/>“We Are All Either Dolls or Seeds” is a meditation on reincarnation with a dystopian upgrade into a nightmare future.<br/><br/>“Egg On Her Face” is a frightful ride over stormy seas and hard landing on a desert island contemplating, a breakfast of champions?<br/><br/>All four stories share a penchant for biting prose, chippy dialogue and plot twists that slap you in the face like flapping pelican’s wings. Read this book now. Eat it if you want. It goes down very easy (not an orgy joke). You can thank me later.<br/><br/>"The Alien Buddha's Full Moon Mashup" is an unnerving wild ride of the imagination. Meet Steven, a true master of screwing up in "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires."<br/><br/>"The Nuckelavee" takes you on a romp with creepy clowns and the ultimate party that will take you to the beginning of the universe. But it may kill you.<br/><br/>"We are all either Dolls or Seeds" ponders the questions of what society might be like if we all could live forever, and what lives we might choose after we die. "Egg on Her Face" asks what you might do to survive and still be a professional.<br/><br/>If you want a book
