The Butcher of Nazareth by David Scott Hay
"An incredible read. I couldn't stop devouring this book, because despite the pain, the horror, and the inevitability of the beast, I needed to finish the journey, just as the butcher did. David Scott Hay took the familiar stories surrounding Jesus of" Read more of this review »

D.T. Robbins has managed to craft a book filled with humor and bleak absurdism, with touches of both nihilism and tenderness. The gruesome scenes were hella gruesome!! The funny scenes were hella funny!! And the soul-calcifying dread of working at th ...more

This book was sad and beautiful at once. I enjoyed my time with the characters, despite the relatively gloomy setting. (Or perhaps because of it)

The 2 main characters are very different people - one is an influencer, one is more of a poet type - but

This book is so utterly human. That's the first word that comes to mind. And there are others, of course--human, raw, irreverent, unflinching, gorgeous, crafted, illuminating.

This book handles a multitude of deep topics with artistry and excellence.

“It seemed that it never stopped. That she was constantly doomed to always look to the future, her mind always skipping one step ahead, until it and she reached the inevitable end.”
Amy DeBellis, All Our Tomorrows

“He was covered with ink, but this piece stood out to her. The script that flowed over his forearm said “If I could, I would. Baby, I swear I would.” She looked the words up later, thinking they were song lyrics, but found nothing that matched. Maybe the tattoo artist had meant to do lyrics but had gotten it wrong. Or maybe she was misremembering, or maybe they were pathless, lyrics to nothing.”
Amy DeBellis, All Our Tomorrows

“But we will awaken too early, not to growth but to decay:
A dying chrysalis emerging into an endless dark.”
Amy DeBellis, Incompleteness

“We all live this way; things fall apart and their corpses rot in front of us as we adapt to a lesser way of living.”
Elle Nash, Deliver Me

“That which is impenetrable to us really exists. Behind the secrets of nature remains something subtle, intangible, and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion.”
Albert Einstein
