Summary

Full disclaimer - this has to be one of the weirdest stories I have ever written, and I have written a lot of weird old stories. 

Just imagine you walk into a cheesy old greasy-spoon diner, the kind that ought to hand out antacid along with a napkin, knife, and fork. 

You ask the waitress for eggs and bacon, and she brings you a plate with live chicken on it. I mean, feathers and beak and the whole bonanza. Just think about a mix of Kafka and O'Henry and you are somewhere close to the mark.

If you want to find out just what comes next, then you ought to pick this story up and give it a listen. I guarantee it's cholesterol-free.

Go ahead and listen to this story. I dare you. Are you a chicken?

Very odd but it does what it says on the tin

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

The Book

Yep that was bizarre but from the title/blurb what did I expect. Whilst oddball it was interesting enough for a short story with Vernon's usual style of writing, some amusing bits and some disturbing bits all churned together into a story that leaves you feeling a bit 'wtf' and not knowing if you enjoyed it or not.

The Production

Narration was clearly spoken and was an enjoyable tone.
