Like Franz Kafka's The Trial meets an erotic Body Horror version of The Blob.A man is arrested in the middle of the night. He doesn't know why. He doesn't remember committing any crime. The cops drop him off in a small community in the middle of the woods where a wedding is about to begin. It is his wedding. He doesn't recognize the bride, but she's allegedly pregnant with his children. All twelve of them. And by law, he must marry her or go to prison for the next two decades.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })But who is this strange woman he is to spend the rest of his life with? She doesn't seem quite human. Her expressions are cold and emotionless. Her movements are like that of a spider. She is Usagi, a creature who feeds on her human mate during pregnancy. Now this man has to find a way to terminate the marriage if he is to survive. But it's not going to be easy. His friends, his family, and his country are all against him. They believe a father should be willing to give up anything for the sake of his family. Even his life.From master of Bizarro Fiction Carlton Mellick III comes a darkly absurd tale about the horrors of fatherhood. | |

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents | |
| The Handsome Squirm / int_1434e55c | comment |
Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: The narrator's mother, who is a "reverse kleptomaniac" - she compulsively goes into stores and puts her own wares on the shelf. She also has absolutely zero regard for his feelings or dignity, or indeed for his life. | |

Crapsack World | |
| The Handsome Squirm / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: America's laws have essentially taken a massive swing into the very very Far Right. Pop-culture has been completely hijacked for the sake of family-values, private acts of fornication (like planned orgies) have to be granted permission judicially and can be protested publicly, not marrying a woman you knock-up has massive legal repercussions and the police can literally get away with anything. Useful for the Usagi, hell for the narrator. | |

Babies Make Everything Better | |
| The Handsome Squirm / int_23f1384a | comment |
Babies Make Everything Better: Deconstructed hard. Everyone in the world except the narrator appears to think that reproduction is so vitally important that you should obviously sacrifice everything for it, including your life if necessary. | |
