Lockdown Laureate scored some glorious praise in this review
OF Cieri, Lockdown Laureate (Castaigne Publishing, 2023)

I picked up this collection from Castaigne Publishing after reading OF’s Backmask, which I gather got a whole lot more attention than these stories. There’s one blurb on the back from Evan Dean Shelton, who is the publisher. But damn, people, read this book. It’s beautifully illustrated by Rachel Lilim. The paper is good quality, and the cover can take a harder beating than anything I’ve had printed on demand. And then there are the stories. It’s the kind of grimy literature that makes you feel the best and worst parts of being alive simultaneously.

I've had a PDF of this for the past week and: 1) Yes, it is all like this. 2) That's good actually. 3) You can try to find your way through the text for a short time, but you will eventually get lost. 4) This is fine.

My book MASSIVE is out today. I started writing it 8 years ago this month. I'm very proud of it. It's the first book that for better or worse I feel like I did something completely new and personal with in terms of how its read, its diction, and its understanding of causality.
