I’m reading High Life right now. This is like if the scripts for Dead Alive and LA Confidential got jumbled together in the copy machine.

No. I wouldn’t say it was completely hopeless. Even though things ultimately didn’t work out it still felt oddly hopefully at the end of “Dear Comrads”

I loved Cows so fucking much. This was like American Psycho meats Story Of The Eye with Joseph Kallinger becoming the god of lower ( higher?) organisms. Maybe if Marques De Sade wrote Watership Down.

“The Girl Next Door” - Jack Ketchum

Fuck. I know it’s based on true events. For a mass market novel this is pretty strong meat.

Far more lurid than expected. Some of this stuff would make Chris Barnes puke. A bit like Bukowski writing splatter punk.
