The Visible Filth by Nathan Ballingrud

dark tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Not sure how original the story is, as it certainly feels like the “apathetic guy with no prospects and bad relationships” character trope is familiar… but regardless, the writing is incredible and the story certainly freaked the hell out of me.
