Cosmo 3

Cosmo’s moon mission gets messy when a nefarious new foe appears! Can the Martian crew turn the tables on the vicious Venus princess, Cleo, or will they succumb to her will?

Piper thought taking care of Cosmo, her magical pet slime, was a big responsibility. Now she's on a mission to keep him safe from a nefarious corporation! Join Piper and Cosmo on an out-of-this-world adventure in Book 3 of the My Pet Slime series. After her pet slime came to life and her grandma got kidnapped, Piper didn't think life could get any stranger. But then she found herself trapped in the headquarters of the mysterious MaLa corporation with her Grandma Sadie, her enemy-turned-friend Claire, and Cosmo, her pet slime. Luckily, Piper has an out-of-this-world plan to escape from MaLa and make sure sweet, cuddly Cosmo stays safe forever!

Winner of the 2013 CBC Overlookie Bookie Award for Most Underrated Canadian Book "These stories read like collaborations between Stephen King and TMZ with Borges and Nabokov on the edits. Each short story sounds with the thunder of a novel. Enthralling, dark, gut-busting stuff!"—Jeff Parker Actor Matthew McConaughey descends into a surreal desert of the soul, an admirer of Miley Cyrus performs a three thousand-word sentence in defense of his passion, an aging porn star dons a dinosaur costume to film the sex scene of a lifetime, and Leonard Cohen shills for Subway: these mercurial and wildly varied stories explode the conventions of short fiction. Spencer Gordon is the author of the acclaimed short story collection Cosmo (Coach House Books, 2012), the poetry collection Cruise Missile Liberals (forthcoming from Nightwood Editions in fall 2017), and three chapbooks.
