Eric La Rocca does it again, Things Have Gotten Worse Since the Last Time we Spoke, was a novella I highly anticipated and I wasn’t let down. The novella consists of three short horror stories that explore themes of obsession, relationship’s, and isolation.
“What have you done to deserve your eyes today?”
Each story is as wild, horrific, and bizarre as the next but I guarantee you won’t be able to put the book DOWN. La Rocca’s writing is just that addictive. Our first story is told in various emails between two women and I loved the mixed media style. It was enjoyable to read even as I was horrified by certain events.
Furthermore I loved that we have queer main characters at centre stage. We don’t have a lot of queer horror novels and it makes my heart happy anytime we get more… even with the, you know *gestures to the horrifying parts*
As much as I enjoyed the first story, the second story was my favourite. I don’t want to give anything away so you’re not even getting the title but it was the highlight of the book for me and it’s winter vibes gave me shining chills.
The last story didn’t work for me as much as the other two and is actually one of the reasons I gave this four instead of five stars. However, like I said above- I did enjoy the way it was written.
If you enjoy wild horror and stories that you won’t be able to look away from, then I highly recommend this novella and other Eric La Rocca books.
