The Thousands

If you’re the type of person who enjoys looking at people dressed up as animals pretending to hump each other, you’ve probably already bookmarked a bunch of ‘furries’ sites and don’t want a lavishly presented picture book lying around celebrating your secret fetish. And if you’re the kind of person who collects lavishly presented picture books, you probably don’t want one about people dressed in animal costumes pretending to hump.

However, it’s the confounding nature of Furverts that fits it into a specific niche market – the arty-joke-gift. What’s this, looks like a children’s book about animals, hang on, wooo-hey! What’s going on here? Can they really do that?**After a few pages, the initial shock wears off, and therein lies its genius – there’s only a few pages! Michael Cogliantry‘s Furverts cleverly showcases a fetish that is highly disturbing yet hard not to find amusing. As a book, Furverts lacks anything approaching a narrative or character development, but hey, what do you expect? It is, after all, a picture book about people dressed up as animals pretending to hump each other.
