A Puppet Scorned

This isn't a book, but a short story of only 34 pages. A juicy taster if you love the novella, or a blessing in disguise if you don't? I'm in the middling pack and giving out a free review.

I don't know how to classify this literature? Fun to read, humorous erotic fantasy featuring sock puppets with knitting needles interweaving their twines, ooh err missus, in a weirdly steamy, under-the-cover woolen duvet romance?

Randy socks? Yeah, I'm up for it.

This is a bit creepy, but never horror, suddenly deciding to become scary near the end, achieved through the sudden and very jarring insertion of the c-word on multiple occasions for heightened effect, which stunned me for being so out of line with the quirky, smutty and YA sexy narrative.

What a shame the author turned this book into something it isn't, but I enjoyed the clever rephrasing of words, such as: "I wanted to make gloves with Brad." 😁

I'm giving this three stars as a weirdly worthy effort. I believe it could achieve a wider audience by dropping the jump-scare c-word tactics and establishing itself as wantonly erotic romance or something.

You can get this for literally pennies on Amazon and it's worth supporting the author for his barmy writing style and hopefully better work to come.
