This book pissed me off. Why even write that ending into it? I liked the Old Jim narration & lore. The rest was fuck all

Another peek inside the crazy, fucked-up world of Area X. The unique, disturbing psychedelia really clicks with me and makes me feel like I'm going crazy. It's a good read if you liked the other books.

Confusing.  Need to reread the rest of the series to note any connections or continuity.
