Kimiko just wants to find love and make music, but her cat has other ideas. And then there’s that old book she unearths, the one with all the weird runes and descriptions of human sacrifice. It’s creepy, but pretty fucking punk.
“Music, Love, and Other Things that Bastard Cat has Peed on” is inspired by the true story of my cat, who went through a phase of peeing on damn near everything. (He did not like his litter box, apparently.) Contains broken bones, pseudo-Lovecraftiana, queer characters, and, well, what it says on the cover, really. Sorry-not-sorry.
