This novella starts out with a stripper named Coco being killed and discarded in a dumpster by a sleazy strip club owner. She awakes in what appears to be a landfill but quickly discovers that there is no end and thus begins her journey through TRASHLAND. Aided by a talking fly she travels through TRASHLAND seeking a way out or just some meaning behind it all. Coco comes across many fascinating characters including a knight dressed in a rubber tire suit, an evil Queen and if you're lucky there may even be a robot.

Now what is really important about this book is that although the plot is kind of "out there" and probably not for everyone the writing style is very crisp, clean and conveys a lot in such a short read. The use of language is exceptionally vivid and descriptive. I must warn you that things can get pretty "meaty."

Exactly as many have stated this is a grimy noir version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND.

I thoroughly enjoyed this read and cannot believe this is Constance Ann Fitzgerald's first book. I anxiously await any forthcoming works from Constance in the future.
