I loved the imagery, LaRocca is nothing if not extremely proficient in evoking a truly disgusted and horrifyied response in his victims… ehem…. I mean readers.
The plot to this horror fantasy is very thin though. It was a fun ride but was pretty surface level. I never found myself caring about any of the characters and so their awful fates didn’t resonate with me to the slightest.
This is a very artfully done abstract piece of horror that is absolute worth a read (mostly due to the low page count) but won’t be one I revisit in the future.

You’d think that having read Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke, that I knew what I was getting into when reading another book by Eric Larocca.
Imagine The Metamorphosis by Kafka but you cringe the whole time
