A beautiful love story, packed with incredibly dark and political humor ending in complete despair with only the slightest bit of hope. If this sounds appealing to you, you'll enjoy Happy Campers.

Enjoyable set of surrealistic short stories about death and life after death. An easy read that dragged a bit, given that I don't love love love the writing style!

I believe I enjoyed the film better - “Wristcutters: A Love Story”. But this short story was still very enjoyable! An insightful but dark look at life and the afterlife.

Compelling. Dark and uncomfortable, this story feels raw and viscerally wet. All aspects of the art and story add to an ambiance of questions and pain, with a strange through-line of hope. Well worth the read.

Di 9 racconti l'unico che mi è rimasto impresso è quello che dà il titolo alla raccolta: i suicidi si svegliano in un post-vita che non si discosta molto dal mondo reale. Uno di loro, che ancora insegue l'amore, trascina una stramba compagnia niente popò di meno che nella villa di Gesù.
Buona l'idea, ma l'esecuzione mi ha lasciata indifferente.
