Enlarge Your Tentacles, Overnight!: a Short Novel Pat R. Steiner 1st edition

August Engstrom's life is a mess. Forced to move back home after losing his scholarship, Auggie now works the night shift at the local university library while he struggles to keep his grades above water. To make matters worse, his mother doesn't know the real reason for his return home. She thinks he's come back to care for her post-stroke. Then one stormy night everything changes when he gives in to temptation and tries an enhancement ointment he knows he shouldn't. And as with all such "too-good-to-be-true" promises--this one is no exception. Enlarge Your Tentacles, Overnight! is an exciting mash-up of horror and dark humor immersed in a (dare we say, more nuanced) coming-of-age tale--with tentacles.
