@littleislandbooks.bsky.socialOther publishers are available but you'll forgive us tooting our horn one last time...
@littleislandbooks.bsky.socialIronic noir hardboiled spoof with a turkey detective? Of course
@littleislandbooks.bsky.socialYou wouldn't necessarily guess it from the title but this is really quite transgressive, gross, and gory
