Why this must be read: Werewolves are so common place these days that fandom works hard to shake things up. I've read about were-yaks, were-goats, and even were-unicorns. This is the first story I've ever seen with were-fruit - there might be more out there somewhere, but this was my first time. (Popping the were-cherry, so to speak.)
In this tale, Arthur is cursed by witches, and once a month when the moon is ripe (hee-hee), he turns into a pineapple. This has both pros and cons:
There are certain benefits to turning into a pineapple every full moon.
- no laundry necessary
- lots of rest and relaxation
- he can avoid his mother's phone calls
On the whole though, Arthur would not say that it is an experience that he recommends.
The story is a series of short scenes as Eames learns Arthur's secret. This author, known for great comedic stories, never disappoints; there are laugh out loud moments and phrases you will forever want to find a way to work into conversation. Seriously. Like this:
"If you say you're going to cross-pollinate me one more time--" Arthur begins.
Eames smirks. "You get off on it, don't even lie. I only want to help you," he adds as Arthur prepares a retort. "Werewolves have the soul of a wolf, were-unicorns have the soul of a unicorn, and you have the soul of a fertile pineapple. There's no shame. Embrace your inner pineapple."
"Maybe," Cobb says, "maybe I should come back another time."
Come on, admit it. You want to have friends you can tell to embrace their inner pineapples and caution against eating pineapple tarts because it's cannibalism. This is the story you will want to force people to read. You will want to tie them to chairs and read it to them until someone forms an advocacy group for were-pineapples! Until they have a special section on eHarmony! Until you're not the only one who gets these references!!!
So, go pop your were-cherry ... and be prepared to laugh out loud. Embrace your inner pineapple - you know you want to.

It doesn't matter how old or new or (how popular) a story is, authors love feedback!
