i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

Finished reading this excellent collection last week and it’s been rotting, festering inside my brain ever since. Not out until next year. These stories are sharp, insightful, and remarkably deranged. If you’re into bizarre fiction, you need this.

This might be my favorite short story collection ever. Original, ferocious, and unrelenting. So gorgeously written as well. Each story collected here feels suffocating and rotted. I absolutely love this book.

Utterly floored by this remarkable collection of short stories. So strange and gut wrenching. Broken, helpless characters meet the absurd, the grotesque and uncanny. The titular novella is genuinely worth the price of admission alone.

Just finished reading this one. This novel is a complex, fascinating examination of the all-consuming power of grief and abandonment. I also loved this author’s previous novel called “Empty Houses.” I highly recommend!
