Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Eat Shit and Die is a fun little dive into vengeance and depravity. When the Fall Consumes makes Martyrs feel PG-13.

Quotes by Jeff O'Brien (?)

“Seated on one side of the room, in a quite expensive looking leather chair, was a short, stout figure with skin of dull green, and huge, black eyes. A Grey alien, I knew, although he was actually green. I’m betting his race takes issue with their given title. But then again, white people and black people aren’t actually white or black, so maybe I just think too much.”
― Jeff O'Brien, Journey to the Edge of the Flat Earth

“Don’t listen to this asshole, Frank,” laughed Kyle. “The kid is sitting there wearing a Dying Fetus t-shirt and talking sexual morality.” “Well”
