OverviewA pile of rats having an identity crisis. A sexy robot rebellion. A velociraptor revenge wedding. The world's horniest scientist. Enter 'Sexy Tales of Paleontology': a world of queer romance, (dis)connection, and artifical intelligence told with Patrick Lenton's idiosyncratic bizarreness and heart. Lenton's short stories combine laugh-out-loud humour with an honest-to-goodness sensibility. Sci-fi oddities, pop culture, a lesser-known Kardashian who lives on the moon, and a deft turn of comic absurdity bound through this truly queer romp of a book. But beyond all this, at the beating heart of the book, is the foolishness, horror, and delight that is love and heartbreak and 43 rats.

This collection is wicked, witty and only occasionally horny. Here Lenton writes with enviable verve around the intersection of science, inhumanity and the clarifying force of love. It is a book teeming with life and brilliance and I am very mad that I did not write it. - Rick Morton (One Hundred Years of Dirt, My Year of Living Vulnerably) Patrick Lenton is a hot little piece of ass, and his book is a hot little piece of ass (for the mind). - Nina Oyama (Utopia, The Weekly) Wildly inventive, refreshingly bonkers. I verify this attempt at humour by this human male. - Julie Koh (Portable Curiosities) """Lenton has an imagination like dropped pudding - delicious, and a crime to waste it.
