danikass 's review for:
you know those books and movies that leave you vibrating with the need to dig in and analyze stories for hours and hours with others? that's how i feel walking away from this collection.
i read 'things have gotten worse since we last spoke' about a year ago, and was surprised to find it just as haunting and unsettling as it had been before. it's a gripping, unusual work about finding and projecting connection, and finding limits.
"the enchantment" absolutely absorbed me. this story of a couple working through the grief of losing their son is at once so simple and so complex, and i can't get it off my mind. there is so much to say about grief and faith, and reality and horror and how to make a story extra special by combining such simple writing with stunning horror. i need to talk about this story with someone, now.
"you'll find it's like that all over" was harder for me to get into, if only because i hadn't finished processing "the enchantment" and kept getting distracted. but this game of increasing-stakes bets played between strangers was fascinating and a really interesting look at polite connection. it mostly felt like horror when you start to question your own limits.
eric larocca accomplishes something so special and unique in these stories.
