Pull up a chair, make yourself at home. That's right. Kick off your shoes, put your feet up on the footstool. Pour a glass of lemonade and settle in. "Llama" tell you a story or three.

How about Lassie fighting a tribe of mutant tumbleweeds? Or a unicorn meeting her destiny at the hands of a djinn? Maybe a story of giant dragonflies wreaking vengeance on playground bullies is more your style. Or a butterfly transformed into a woman. Or dust bunnies waging a war. Perhaps a tale of courage and justice meted out by a rattlesnake, a jackal, and a horny toad? Or the tale of the time when Cthulhu was summoned on accident. In an outhouse.

It's all here, in this collection of fifteen stories. Fifteen tales of beings, human and not, trying to find their heart's desire-whether vengeance or justice or happiness or just a bovine companion. Some find it, some find only disappointment.

You'll just find some darned tootin' good tales.
