In 2005, Caitlin R. Kiernan surprised her readers with, Frog Toes and Tentacles, a small-form hardcover of darkly weird erotica. Now Kiernan follows that sold-out volume with a second collection of her unique brand of erotica, Tales from the Woeful Platypus. Like its predecessor, this book will be illustrated by acclaimed artist Vince Locke (The Sandman, Batman, A History of Violence, Deadworld, etc.), and also like the first volume, it is unlikely ever to be reprinted.
