A queer little fairy tale about a dangerous love between two boys with unusual appendages. The story is short and its lesson brutal, but therein lies an unspoken hope that a future will arrive when such lessons become unnecessary. The Boy With the Flower That Grew Out of His Ass by Cyril Wong was first published as a hand-stitched chapbook in 2005, with only 300 copies available. Math Paper Press is re-releasing a special 10th Anniversary edition, signed by the author and designed by Anonymous.
