Marcus lands in Thailand to discover food that sets his brain on fire, squat toilets that requires great balance, and the most lovely girl in the world. . .

Immersed in a world of silent movies, featuring beautiful women, Delia fantasizes about cosmetic surgery changing her into someone pretty, someone more like her mother. . .

Volume one blew it out of the water for me! Whether writing about alien invasions, to awkward first love, each story was captivating in its own way. Every author did a phenomenal job at creating a unique, and intriguing story. I truly cannot wait to see the next volumes from Sucker Literary!" -Amy Yoelin
