author: Nick Mamatas
description: "Seriously, why hasn't anyone thought of this before? <i>Mixed Up</i> pleases the palate and the soul with its sharp pairing of cocktail-inspired short fiction and delightfully rendered recipes and drink-origins. With the help of this book, you too can be the life of the party, for once. Get loaded with <i>Mixed Up</i>." Paul Tremblay, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of <i>A Head Full of Ghosts</i> and <i>Disappearance at Devil's Rock</i><br /> <br /> "Full of tales that really get why so many of us love cocktail culture: the camaraderie and tenuous connections that a truly well-made cocktail can engender . . . Go on. Give it a stir." <i>the Gourmez</i><br /> <br /> "[Mixed Up] would be a good addition to your bar, and you can read some fiction during your mixology downtimes." <i>Fantasy Literature</i>
