This book feels like a tiger in a cage and the tiger is tearing apart the cage and I am its meal and it's eating me
It's a really good book! My favourite story was incesticide, it's the best one of all and is a great lead into the rest of this book. 10/10, I am making a physical copy of this thing
"downward is heavenward" is somehow one of the funniest sweetest things i've read. the whole collection is really overwhelming - which i mean neutrally, neither as an insult or a compliment, it just sort of is? - so something about the natural born killers looney tunes rampaging of "downwards" just came through crystal clear in comparison to the stories before it. made me laugh out loud and send screenshots of my favourite parts on discord! i just loved that one a lot!
all over, even if it sometimes left me confused or wanting - also neutral, i don't think it's bad for a book to make you want - it was a palate cleanser to just read something wildly honest and uninhibited. i'm glad people make art like this.
I love everything about this. I love how creative it is. I love how wild it is. I love how hot it is. All the stories are so unique, yet work together to shape a larger theme. my body, the hand grenade hit almost too close to home for me. This shit is fucked up, and I adore it.
wow, that's - a lot, but comforting? like emotional white noise, or because it's nice not to have to pretend there's such a thing as the inviolate. not to mention hot. but mostly, yeah, warm and fuzzy like blood is (it's 2am and i can't figure out how to express that in a framework that isn't just imitating it). thankyou
