Angela Sylvaine writes some of the most entertaining books I've read, and Chopping Spree is no different. Cultish, occasionally violent, absurd but not really that absurd, it's part nostalgia for a place and an age that no longer really exists as well as a question as to whether it was all really worth existing in the first place. What are we really doing in a mall? What is it we keep alive, what is it we celebrate?
But forget the deeper philosophy, Chopping Spree is about blowing up a mall to spite The Man, and it's fucking glorious. It's sometimes funny, sometimes sad, full of needle drops and playful as a novella gets. It's all the things I most enjoy in a book and more.
