Kitchen Sink by Spencer Hamilton

5.0

I got into Spencer’s work during 2021 through his Smileyland stories, so was very curious to see his earlier stuff, which is what is collected in this thorough tome. Anyone else introduced to Spencer via stabby psychos with a creepy mask expecting more of the same won’t get that, but they won’t be disappointed either. On the whole, this collection is excellent, and showcases how Spencer is more than just a pretty, smiley face. Some of this is literary, some is introspective, and some is just plain weird in the best way possible. There were a couple here that didn’t quite hit the mark for me, but that’s not to take anything away from what is a bold and impressive collection.
