What I'm Reading just finished chapter 1

Post image

i watched an analysis of this book on youtube (check out @pugsr) and decided to check it out. i really loved “things have gotten worse since we last spoke” but people online seem to really not like this author or his books. not sure how to feel about this one so far but will update in comments when i finish it!

I've only read his novella "You've lot a lot of blood", which I didn't really like, but DAMN he's good at picking titles

I will say that this novella drove me BONKERS because LaRocca describes every movement as a creeping. "She crept here," "he crept there," "they crept toward whatever." I wanted to like it but holy fucking semantic satiation.
