Clay liked Kaycee McKee's review of Mr. Lonelyhearts: "This was such a fun horror read! I thought the idea of a CPR dummy coming to life was very interesting, and I loved how unhinged the concept became as the story progressed. There were a couple moments where I wasn't really sure what had happened and " Read more of this review »

Clay and 1 other person liked Michelle's review of Mr. Lonelyhearts: "Mr. Lonelyhearts is weird, unhinged, and gloriously messed up in all the ways I want my horror to be.

Quotes by Clay McLeod Chapman (?)

“I am the house. Every room is a chamber of my heart, every hallway an artery, every beam a bone.”

“Other animals sense danger and the need for self-preservation, but we’re the only ones who know death is coming. We know it’s there, always there, just waiting for us.”

“Your body is a temple. A ripe vessel. We want to make sure that it’s ready for receiving. “Receiving…what?” A gift, gurl. The juice cleanse was step one in Devon’s spiritual awakening. YOGAMAMA insisted she scrub the plumbing. You gotta purge yourself of any toxins polluting your body, hon. Flush—it—all—out! Make your vessel pure again. Then—and only then—can we welcome in the Wellness.”
― Clay McLeod Chapman, Wake Up and Open Your Eyes
