Reviews

[Danni]

Absolutely horrific. You need to read this.

[Madison McSweeney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Zine of grotesque corporate horror that basically rots off the page.

[Mac Spears · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quick read, done in a night, a variety of types of tales told with a defined, distinct voice.

The first tale set the tone and unnerved, the second was too real in its painting of arbitrary obsession. The third story drew great sadness from me, the fourth left an impression that haunted me after reading, for a few days at least (time will tell.)

Definitely recommend!

Richard reminds us why he remains a pillar of bleak grief fiction. I loved each story here and all I can say is that I immediately need a longer work of [REDACTED].
