Walrus Tales
ISBN: 9781936383542 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Welcome to "Walrus Tales"-the only anthology of walrusian fiction on the planet. Herein, find tales of all stripes: horrific, satiric, comedic, tragic, erotic, and a bunch of other "-ic" and "non-ic" words, like "Lovecraftian" and "Bizarro."
Why devote an entire anthology to walruses? Perhaps I admire their large ivory tusks and wish I had a set of my own. Perhaps I sense something vaguely mystical about them and wonder if they're privy to ancient secrets. Perhaps a walrus saved my grandfather from drowning off the coast of Greenland. In the end, it doesn't matter. "Walrus Tales" is here,... Welcome to "Walrus Tales"-the only anthology of walrusian fiction on the planet.

He takes on one dimwitted...
