Chuck has done it again. When I’m reading his work, I wonder where the hell is this all going? And find myself in great need of a shower to wash the unseen filth from myself. Then I get to the end and think “Holy shit. I’m rather glad I read that.” He has a way of making one face the darkest, most grotesque parts of one’s own psyche, without judgment. For many, I think they take his writing too seriously in that they get put off and don’t understand that that’s the whole point. You shouldn’t be comfortable when you read his work. This isn’t casual beach read fluff. It’s meant to change you.

Maybe not forever, but for now.
