Nothing Else, Eve, We've Enjoyed the Fruit
by
Elaine Pascale
Genre:
Horror
What
happens when a kept woman refuses to take her ridatemp and begins
thinking for herself? In If Nothing Else, Eve, We've Enjoyed the
Fruit; she begins talking to bunches of grapes and cantaloupe that
convince her to commit murder. Through her visitations with fruit,
the woman learns that a gender war can be reversed by traveling back
in time and eradicating the Tree of Knowledge and its villainous
apples. The fruit persuade her by telling her four other stories:
Boys
Will be Boys: A
spa is turned into a concentration camp: just don't ride the
elevators!
Ripped
to Shreds:
Pregnant Jody Burkhoff's body is changing rapidly, but not as quickly
as the lupine metamorphosis of her husband. First the neighborhood
animals are mutilated, then the neighbors are viciously murdered.
Which proves to be more dangerous, a monstrous creature or a hormonal
woman?
O:
Khaki Barlow enters a pageant in which only one woman survives. She
must complete tasks that are both mentally and physically daunting,
all while trying to learn the meaning of the words left by the
eliminated: I am here. Does she face incredible fears? Does a
one-legged duck swim in a circle?
The
Prison of a Man:
Told as an ethnographical project, Lara Thomas researches the deaths
of shoppers at a mall embedded in a small town, and encounters the
legendary Goat Man.
If
Nothing Else (Prologue):
Readers learn the final decision in the gender war.
