"Porn, man! Monster porn. That shit is blowing up right now. It's gonna be fucking HUGE!!"
arthur graham seems to be constantly writing stuff, and he's constantly shaking me down to read and review this stuff. which i do, since i don't have the money to give to charitable organizations and it's my only way of contributing to the well-being of the less-fortunate; inspiring others to shell out for his books so arthur can finally afford that fancy helmet and be the envy of all his fellow short bus riders.
but now he's just getting pushy about it. this time, he didn't even ask me to read this book, it just appeared in my mailbox on my birthday. stalker alert aside, i was really excited about it, since i thought the cover was a depiction of a drunken red panda with giant testicles, which seemed like a very thoughtful birthday present to have written just for me.
turns out, it's not a red panda at all, nor was i the only person who got a copy, so now i'm back to calling it an imposition.
but it's honestly the best and funniest thing he's written.
don't get me wrong, it's disgusting. reprehensible, even. it's full of icky sex, copious bodily fluids, bloodshed, drugs, the smearing of robert redford's good name, some rough sexual treatment of uma thurman, unusual architectural adhesives, the worst orgy ever, and worst of all - marital infidelity.
but - it did give me something else to hopelessly long for. no, not decomposing zombie orgies or coked-up starlets, but a TANUKI!
my initial thinking that the cover-image was of a red panda was down to my complete ignorance of the tanuki's existence. otherwise, the title would probably have clued me in.
THIS is a tanuki:
and this is a tanooki:
the tanuki is both a real thing
and the stuff of legends
http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html...
and here, mr tanuki is legendary, indeed. mostly because of his enormous testicles, Like two fleshy boulders, they're barely supported by the narrow couch cushions, a thin film of tacky ball sweat being the only thing keeping them from tumbling to the floor. also, his enormous sexual drive, which insatiable drive is shared by his tanuki wife, and they both get up to many extramarital shenanigans, frequently with human celebrities.
it's a riches-to-rags-to-riches story from which our plucky, ballsy tanuki and his sassy tanuki wife ultimately emerge heroic, if a bit sticky.
technically, this book is comprised of three short stories:
- Tanuki vs. the Aokigahara Swingers Club
- Tinseltown Tanuki
- Shinkansen of Love
but they're connected by characters and situations, so i'm treating it as a novel. novella? it's 92 pages, call it what you like.
as long as you call it.
arthur needs that helmet before he concusses himself.
learn a little, love a lot!
thank you, arthur!

Tanuki Tango Overdrive is a collection of three sexually charged tales featuring the enormously-testicled Tanuki and his wife by the sexually charged Arthur Graham.
A while back, Arthur sent me a pdf of this book and I resolved to read it. Since I'm getting older and my cognitive abilities are in decline, I promptly forgot about it. Yesterday, I received a mysterious package in the mail from Arthur Graham in the mail. An Author-Gram from Arthur Graham, if you will. This book was among the contents so I immediately plowed through it like a Tanuki at an orgy.
Tanuki Tango Overdrive skirts the line between bizarro fiction and monster porn and is better written than either genre typically is. Arthur Graham takes Tanuki, a Japanese nature spirit, and his wife to a swinger's party in the suicide forest, an indecent proposal in Hollywood from Robert Redford, and try stop a train from fucking a tower that looks like a vagina.
Caution - Tanuki Tango Overdrive may contain the following:
bukkake
anal sex
face fucking
orgies
a penis the size of a python with a dragon tattooed on it
testicles the size of grapefruits
Tanuki semen
cursing
I'll pause for a moment while you digest that.
One last thing: This was a self-published book but in no way resembles one. This is how self-published books should be done: impeccable editing and a professional looking product.
TTO is a lot of dirty good fun and made me want to play Super Mario Brothers 3. Three out of five stars. -
While reading these three prurient stories, I had to frequently utilize Google. So many exotic new words! Mr. and Mrs. Tanuki are cute, furry animals belonging to a subspecies of the Asian raccoon dog. They dine on Unagi, a freshwater eel commonly used as an ingredient in Japanese cooking. Eventually, bukkake gets involved. I didn't know what that was. The definition didn't even offer a pronunciation. You can look that up for��yourself. I'm a lady.
Another thing I learned is not to keep a Tanuki in suspense. An indigent Tanuki can make plenty of money having sex with a superstar, as long as the Tanuki is wary and in control. A Shinkansen is a big, horny train thing. If you're on one, pray that it does not fall in love with a skyscraper. Then who ya gonna call? The Tanukis! Busting makes them feel good, but there is little time to rest. Kitsune's revenge is imminent.

This is a real tanuki.
(Part of me wants to sink my fingers into that luxurious fur coat, and part of me thinks I'd be drawing back bloody stumps where my fingers used to be.)
And this . . .
. . . is the tanuki of legend. And, in case you think you're hallucinating, those are indeed balls.
See.
Balls.
Big old tanuki balls.
It is this ballsy, folkloric hero that takes time out from being garden statuary . . .
. . . to star in Arthur Graham's three tales of shapeshifting magic and mayhem. And sodomy. Lots of sodomy. (Trickster tales don't normally involve so much sodomy, though I'm betting if
Neil Gaiman had been a little bolder, and put out an uncensored version of
Norse Mythology, Loki would surely have been quite the little sodomite.)
Anyway, Tanuki and Mrs. Tanuki . . .
. . . share a loving, though not always monogamous relationship. They see plenty of action both in and out of the bedroom as they cavort with celebrities, and save modern architecture from horny trains.
I can see you're shaking your head in disbelief, so, go ahead - message the author, and he will send you a free ebook.

Here's a photo of me after reading this book.
Just look at my balls!
(Results not typical. Report any excessive growth of testes lasting four hours or longer.)
Sayonara! -

I asked Arthur to send me nudes. He sent me this deranged collection of Tanuki porn instead.
-
Arthur, Arthur...really now, aren't you a little apprehensive about walking around naked in front of strangers?
I guess not. In fact,
I'm positive.
And now (May 2017)
he offers them signed and cheap. His books, not his asscheeks, though the difference isn't readily apparent. Reading one of Arthur's stories is intime enough to give that impression of a guided tour of the man's mind. Fortunately for lovers of the Baroque, there it all is. -
In our modern Internet age, what happens when an intelligent, articulate, somewhat world-weary writer/editor with certain Luddite tendencies gets FRIGGIN’ HAMMERED AND HORNY and then decides to write something??
Tanuki porn—that’s what happens. And that’s what this book is.
But what the hell is a tanuki anyway? Hey, don’t feel bad if you’re not in the know, home skillet. I had to look it up myself. Here ya go:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanes...
Ahhh, so maybe you already knew what a tanuki was because back in the day you beat Super Mario Bros. 3 like over four hundred times, eh? Well, congratulations, Waldo! Just bear in mind that while you were busy playing Nintendo with your zit-faced, McSpazatron buddies, I was out nabbin’ mad ass like the goddamn sun was about to explode, G!
Not unlike the titular “Tanuki” of Tanuki Tango Overdrive, in fact.
At any rate, this is certainly Arthur “Da Gram Cracka” Graham’s funniest work to date. I’d go into more detail about its jizz-splattered, p*ssy juice-drenched, ass-annihilating contents, but my residual Catholic guilt forbids it. So go check it out yourself, my tiny little sons/sonettes.
[P.S. At no point in my life did I ever nab what anyone would consider to be "mad ass." But it felt cool to pretend that I did while writing this sorry-ass book review.] -
I received this book almost a month ago. It landed in my mailbox wrapped in brown paper. No return address was written, however, it had my correct address; but the wrong name. So I took this package in, opened it up carefully to ensure there was no danger and found this slim yellow book with weird red lettering and some furry creature that was up to no good. I knew right then and there I was going to have to read it.
Read it I did.
Let me just say this book has big balls, cajones, [enter in whatever other synonyms you want to here] and it was absolutely hilarious. If you need to spice up your sex life, I recommend this book.
P.S. I'm writing this review on my 15 minute break at work, so if I get fired, I strictly blame the author. If I get a promotion, I also blame the author. Remember kind GR members who actually read this review to keep it real and do it for T.A. Nuki.
P.P.S. If you don't know what I'm talking about then you need to read this book stat.
That is all. Thank you and have a great day! -
I had to take mini breaks while reading this little gem in bed. I will not go into detail of these mini breaks but I may have started smoking and my new 'oh god, oh god' is now 'Robert Redford' as if I wasn't strange enough... You could have at least used Richard Gere.
-
I will confess, prior to reading this jewel, to complete and utter ignorance of the Japanese raccoon dog (god?), this Tanuki. I'm reading the Wiki entry on this beast as I write this and I'm shocked that the info hasn't already been updated with Graham's contribution to the lore of this majestical and erotic creature. Have the citizens of that wondrous land embraced this collection of three stories of the Tanuki the way that they did the band Spinal Tap? Because Arthur Graham should be big in Japan - his readings of this book should cause men and women alike to faint across the nation on a 76 week book tour, culminating in the celebration of the erection (see what I did there?) of a 90 foot statue of his protagonist that showers all pilgrims thrice daily with the gifts from its loins. And yes, Robert Redford will sign your tour book, goddamned you.

Tanuki Tango Overdrive was a good quick read. Three stories and 106 pages long, hard to write a review and not say too much. For me it read like a x-rated kids book or comic book. If that makes sense to you. The second story Tinseltown Tanuki was a take off of Indecent Proposal. I enjoyed reading this in between books. Something fun and light and not too serious. This was the first book by Arthur Graham I have read and looking forward to reading more of his books. I gave Tanuki Tango Overdrive 4 stars.
Thanks to the author I got a free copy for a honest review. -
Tanuki is the cute little guy on the cover with the big balls. You may know him from Super Mario Brothers 3. Arthur Graham treats us to a trio of glorious sexcapades, with Tanuki’s hot little wife along for the ride. This book manages to be both cute and oddly disturbing in the best way. From a bukakke rivalry with his arch nemesis in Tanuki vs. The Aokigahara Swingers Club, shamelessly smutty cameos from celebs ranging from Robert Redford to Sandra Bullock in Tinseltown Tanuki, to a train sexually obsessed with a skyscraper in Shinkansen of Love, there is plenty to enjoy here.

I interviewed Arthur about this book and more, and you can listen

TANUKI TANGO OVERDRIVE by grand master Arthur Graham is Troma meets Sid & Marty Krofft meets Ranma ½. I opened up this adorable novelette not knowing what to expect and I got schooled in all kinds of shit.
Did you know Tanukis are real things!? Did you know Tanukis have giant balls!? Did you know Tanukis have insatiable sexual appetites!? Did you know Super Mario 3 changes into a Tanuki and not a raccoon!?
Arthur Graham moves fast sometimes. If you don't stop and read him once in awhile, ya just might miss him.
You're still here? The review is over, go home. Go. -
So funny. So creative. I couldn’t stop laughing, I loved these three stories. Hope to read more one day.. (;

Loved these three stories. Like a furry little McGyver solving problems with enormous balls, an insatiable sex drive, drugs, alcohol, and the requisite shape-shifting. Really enjoyed the modern twist on the Japanese folklore.
Plus - Super Mario Bros 3.
He could glide, fly, and whip shit with his tail. But Nintendo forgot a couple things. Written by the editor in chief at HST, you should know what to expect. This thing is funny, clever, and entertaining. So slip into the kimono two sizes too small, let the firelight cast a giant shadow of your balls on the wall, and sip some warm sake as you read.
It's a short story collection, so I will keep things brief:
Tanuki vs. the Aokigahara Swingers Club - A forest.
Tinseltown Tanuki - Hollywood.
Shinkansen of Love - A train.
There, now go read it. -
My favorite from Arthur so far, with Great White House at a close second! I nearly laughed my literal ass off at some of the antics these little tanukis pull. The love train was definitely my favorite and I could see that becoming an actual comedic, hentai anime adaptation. Think on it, Arthur! Well, frankly I could see all of it being adapted but if I had to pick a favorite, that would be it.
Mrs. Tanuki is a BAMF and deserves her own series. Don't try to pull a fast one on her lest you want an ass-beating!
If you're into monster porn and comedy, you'll definitely be fist-deep into it. If you aren't but like a good laugh, you might still enjoy it with an open mind. Monsters deserve love too! -
***REVIEW COPY***
A hilarious and fantastical set of stories. Basically, it's about a talking badger with a huge nutsack and his adventures. Also, it is filled with sex. I really enjoyed the read and already plan on reading it again.
Thank you, Arthur, for the review copy and I hope to read more of your stories soon. -
I don't get it. Sorry.
-
Graham has a great one here. He's hit a perfect balance of Japanese folklore influence with modern bizarre humor. The Tanuki is odd enough that the balance might not be immediately apparent, but Graham really does (at least for me) provide a modern bizarre humor take on the old tales without losing the original essence. Very nicely done, and fun to read.

Arthur Graham is an author and the sitting Editor in Chief of Horror Sleaze Trash, a publication of mixed genre fiction all flagrantly injected with sexual elements. Tanuki Tango Overdrive (TTO for short) is a collection of three short stories revolving around the Japanese tanuki (sometimes referred to as a "raccoon-dog"), an animal with the appearance cross between a badger and a raccoon. In Japanese mythology, these animals are purported to have supernatural powers which allow them to trick human beings, and in Arthur's collection, they use these powers to get jiggy with an assortment of famous Hollywood stars, each other, and even a bullet train. Over the top comedy and sexual situations are the hallmark of this original work. Not for the faint of heart, strong sense of humor a must. A quick read, but something you'll be recommending and lending out to your friends over and over again.
