We Can Never Leave This Place
by Eric LaRocca
I’m not too sure what to rate this one. Eric’s covers are always beautiful and I know it’s gonna be dark and gross before I read. This is my third book by him. He deff knows how to make you confused and uncomfortable. This is also a very short read coming in at right under 100 pages.
This story is about a young girl named Mara and her pregnant mother. The landscape where they are seems to be an apocalyptic war zone. Mara’s father is gunned down trying to leave their apartment. After this, strange visitors keep coming to see them and never leave. This deff felt like a fairytale fever dream. It wasn’t as wtf as Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke but there were a few moments I cringed a bit. This story deals with grief and not being able to let go of what is hurting you.
I was getting some Mother! vibes at the end there. I’m not sure if I liked this one or not. Eric’s stories seem to be hit or miss for me. Gotta think a bit on what I really thought. I’m always willing to read all the books he puts out so I’m ready for whatever is next!
