I realize the book was written a while ago, but it's still fairly juvenile, feels like horror stories written by teenage boys.

Partners in Slime Mike McCarty Mark McLaughlin Matt Truiano 9781615723508 Books Reviews


together and seperately, both Michael McCarty and Mark McLaughlin have given me many hours of reading pleasure. I'm no good with long haul flights and really have a tough time with them since a particularly nasty time in the middle east but these two tickle the funny bones in such a way that the time passes without me noticing it. Brisbane, Australia to Los Angeles passes by easily with a book by either Michael McCarty and/or Mark McLaughlin and i've not had so much fun reading since the late lamented Richard Laymon passed on. When times are tough, Michael and Mark fills the void more than adequately.
I enjoyed the collaboration of stories between Michael McCarty and Mark McLaughlin. The book offers several different types of stories from monsters, science fiction and crazy freaks.

I did enjoy all the stories but I really loved Klowny. See I have a weakness for evil clowns. The beginning of the story was a little sad but I loved how Klowny developed into one evil villain. How the story was written was genius and had me laughing at times. I think Klowny needs his own spin off.

Great read and I highly recommend.
I really wanted to like this collection of short stories. It seemed interesting from the blurb, especially the giant cockroach alien story but I didn't find any of the stories in Partners in Slime to be that entertaining. Most were like high school kid humour at most, and not even that. Some are trying too hard to be clever like The Ten Klown-Manments about a baby whose face was gnawed on by a rat who became a Klown, note the K instead of C, the whole story does this for every word beginning with C. I don't really know what the point of that is, but it doesn't really add anything to the tale.

The stories inside cover a wide range of stories such as fertility specialist using an experimental technology of sending the defective parts of the reproductive system back in time, which of course don't produce the infant results the couple is expecting. Budget cuts for the US military with a scientist desperate to keep the funding for his experiment. An ugly guy getting picked up by a farmer who has a beautiful wife, in fact the whole community seems to have ugly men with hot wives.

The stories will entertain you enough to pass the time but there's nothing in here you'll talk about days after you've finished the last story. Better to try and borrow a copy from your library before deciding to purchase. I had hoped to enjoy this one, but unfortunately I really didn't.
When sci-fi geek stoners come across the best light show in the form of a spacecraft, they're barely surprised to see large cockroaches step out with buggy eyes and drippy mandibles. We might not be surprised either, given the novella's title "Giant Cockroaches from Outer Space" (part of the collection Partners in Slime), but then the cockroach aliens speak. And that was the first time I burst out laughing. And the laughter continued to the end.

Their first greeting to the earth beings is a joke, and they continue chatting in colloquial English dialect that's a startling and funny contrast to our expectations. At the same time, these aliens are sniffing Black Flag, getting high, breaking into giggles while explaining their plight to the equally high humans.

Circumstances lead them to moving in with these two wasted college students, where they come to love MTV, and make their own rap song, "Bug Bug Buggin," which are, um, the only words. Things turn even weirder (and funnier) as the roach aliens get hooked on a vampire show and want to be vampires, because vampires, of course, get all the chicks. Except most vampires don't design their capes from ... I won't divulge that because to say too much is to ruin the fun of wordplay (like bringing the robot Bong along) and the unexpected reversals of our expectations.

The stoner mindset is one of easy belief, and their gullibility and trust in the most ridiculous plans is part of the charm that pervades the novella. So far, I've read six of the short stories, as well as this novella, in the collection Partners in Slime by Michael McCarty and Mark McLaughlin. Each story drew me right in and compelled me forward with a clean, vibrant style, and fascinating characters--half the everyman we can identify with, and half bizarrely grotesque people far left of the norm. I can't quite pin down what works so well in all of these, only that there's a strange, inviting warmth to even the most grotesque tales in this collection, as if the authors are enjoying themselves thoroughly and hope you are too. No worries. I am.
I realize the book was written a while ago, but it's still fairly juvenile, feels like horror stories written by teenage boys.
