Editor’s Note:

Constance Ann Fitzgerald is one of my favorite people.

When I learned that she wrote vignettes about the creeps that come into the sex shop where she works, I had to read them. When I did, I asked Ms. Fitzgerald if she’d ever thought about writing bizarro fiction. She said it might be fun.

Constance Ann came to BizarroCon 2010, to see what this whole scene is about. She easily made friends and won everyone over with her idea to write a Trashy Fairy Tale about a dead stripper. So charming!

I’m very happy to be working with my friend and presenting her work to all of you. I know you’ll love this delightful Mad Hatter trip into the horribly fun trashscape that Constance Ann has created. Enjoy yourselves.

I’m happy to present Constance Ann Fitzgerald’s book to you as part of the New Bizarro Author Series. This is this author’s first book! The NBAS strives to bring new voices in bizarro fiction to our readers. It serves as an opportunity to introduce you to new writers, and to introduce them into the world of being an author. Eraserhead Press is happy to bring new, weird voices to you in the hopes that these authors will prove themselves to be strong members of the bizarro community and continue to entertain you for years to come. The publishing of this book marks the beginning of a one year proving period. Please help support our NBAS writers in their endeavors by telling your friends about their cool new books. This book you hold is only one of several hundred that must be sold in order for this author to continue on her path. We hope you help her along as best as you can. Thank you.
