Okay I'm confused I think in a good way. I've not ever read something like this so I think that's why my review is limited. But I still want to reread it and read more of the authors works. Definitely was a super creepy mind fuck of a read. I preferred the story within the story more than the ambrose and martyr section and didn't really care for the poems either but I think that's bc I didn't see all the connections this time around. Not sure if I recommend bc I literally only understand a few things lol 😅

Incredible. I've never read anything  like this  ever before. I was unable to stop reading or to take my mind off the book. It's depicted in such an interesting way, truly a masterpiece

Another brilliant little novella from Eric LaRocca. I love that everytime I pick up one of his books, I know I'm about to read something wild. I adored the unique way structure, the matter of fact weirdness we're forced to accept and how everything comes full circle in the end. Just know, I'm trying to be as vague as possible, because you're best going into his books knowing nothing at all.
