Alison Rumfitt is the queen of contemporary horror and making me feel ill, but in the best way💁🏻♀️
Brainwyrms isn't for the faint-hearted, but I loved how the extremely gross elements elevated this story. Small-minded bigotry is an infestation of the worst kind, one that needs absolutely killing with fire. This book is the ignition 🙌
There's something very addictive about Rumfitt's writing. I haven't devoured a book this quick in ages. I had to drag myself away from it to do boring adulty things, but curling up in bed with this clever little grotesque book at the end of each day was my highlight. Similar to how I feel when I read a book from Eliza Clark, I love how shitty and British everything is. Books romantising the UK are just not it.
Tell Me I'm Worthless is my favourite of the two, just because I'm a sucker for a haunted house, especially a fascist one, but this really stands out in its own light. If you haven't read anything from Rumfitt yet, and you enjoy disgusting books with brilliant messages at their core, then what are you waiting for?💃
