Pardon the pun, but what a delightfully gruesome snack of a book. Original, authentic characters in a story that’s hard to put down.

Quotes by Renee Rigdon (?)

“Creation from chaos is natural. We've come to a place where we've realized that we have this actual physical need to create things. We've discovered that we hate people en masse, we're sick of homogenized culture, and these realizations have left holes in our hearts. We create to fill those holes, to be able to sleep at night knowing we've done something, even a small something, to confront the manufactured culture that is currently being churned out.”
― Renee Rigdon
