You've Lost a Lot of Blood is a short story collection by Eric LaRocca. It contains a couple of stories - firstly a sort of poem about violence, the second two queer men talking in a car about themselves and the third is a story echoing the violence and filth of Tetsuo The Iron Man.
That said, I mean that third story really was such a direct rip off of the movie that I struggled to find originality in it. The second story was like the two same people talking to each other. The poetry is whatever.
After the first book, I struggled to find a different voice in this novel and I found the switching storylines really frustrating and distracting. Two or three chapters of a story would take place, then another story would have one chapter and repeat. I might read works again by this author, but it wasn't truly that interesting.
