A Lush and Seething Hell: Two Tales of Cosmic Horror by John Hornor Jacobs
2.0
I'm starting a class called "Does This Horror Story Really Need The Word 'Semen' In It Or Are You Just Gross?" and every white male horror author on earth has to attend or be fined for psychological damages to their audience at large.
I feel like I have more to say about these two novellas/short novels/whatever but really, that sums it up. It's the kind of book where he includes sexual content not for titillation, or to deconstruct it, or to examine its power structures, or to empower insofar as sexual content can be empowering. I don't know why it's there except that JHJ seems like a horndog with a phallic fixation.
ADDENDUM: The most interesting thing about this audiobook is that, while looking to see if I recognized the second story's narrator from that Edward Hopper short story collection I also hated earlier this year, I found out he (MacLeod Andrews) narrated a LOT of the Warrior Cats books. Utterly delightful.
