"Wet Hot Allosaurus Summer" by Lola Faust

Tanis is a simple Alberta country girl with dreams too big for her abusive father’s farm. Excitement arrives in the form of Big Al, an allosaurus who wears his feather crest in a sexy rockabilly pompadour and lives life on his own terms.


This neo-transcendentalist work of post-industrial inter-species romance starts off with a bang: in the first few pages Tanis meets Big Al, loses her virginity to Big Al, and gets shot in the shoulder by her ornithoscelidaphobic father. Her arm is beyond saving, and needs to be amputated; Big Al does so, and gets lunch at the same time in a veritable orgy of efficiency.


Tanis and Big Al run for the border, hoping to make a new life together in the United States safe from her father’s bigotry. Along the way they meet members of a dinosaur-loving sex cult, have close encounters with hillbillies, look for an ethical and environmentally sustainable way to handle to Big Al’s obligate carnivorism, and struggle with interpersonal challenges as they seek to navigate the complications of their inter-species romance under the shadow of a judgmental society.


They also bang. A lot.


This is my second Dinosaur Erotica book from Lola Faust. Like Dino Stud, it’s silly, it’s fun, and it takes itself exactly the right amount of seriously.
