review:
'The Sky Done Ripped' by Joe R. Lansdale with illustrations by Timothy Truman is the third book of the adventures of Ned the Seal and H.G. Wells, which I didn't know before I read this one.

With plenty of references to pulp fiction, classic fiction and time travel tropes, we find ourselves in an odd world where apes have evolved. Ned lands in a strange valley with his travel companions. They set out separately to find a magic fleece. They meet a sort of Tarzan, here named Tango. They fight a gigantic blob named She Who Must Be Obeyed and Eats Lunch Early.

It's all really bizarre and is best just gulped down without thinking too much about it. I kept thinking of SF author Philip Jose Farmer while I read it, which I guess is praise of a sort. The story is a pleasant, if weird, diversion.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Subterranean Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
