Picture this: it’s 1 a.m., my fiancé and I are burritoed in bed under separate blankets like emotionally distant raccoons. I, in my infinite chaos, decide this is the PERFECT time to read him a “short bedtime story.” Important context: this man does NOT read splatterpunk and he has a deep, spiritual hatred for eggs. All eggs. Sunny side. Scrambled. Satan’s oval food. Enter this absolute menace of a novella. Eight. Pages. That’s it. Eight pages of pure uncut “what the fuck did I just read.” Sister comes to visit her brother. Brother is meal-prepping like a responsible adult. Sister, this absolute goblin of a human, eats his last two eggs. Or so she thinks. Those eggs? Yeah. They’re the last thing she’ll ever eat. The escalation is unholy. Blink-and-you-miss-it pacing. Zero chill. Straight from “oops I ate your eggs” to “guess I’ll die.” And honestly? I respect it. If someone touched my last gluten-free items I, too, might see red and choose violence. This book is feral. It’s stupid. It’s grotesque. It’s hilarious. It’s an unhinged little egg-fueled fever dream and I loved every cursed second of it. Moral of the story: don’t eat other people’s food. Especially eggs. You vile motherfucker. 🥚

Seeing this was 8 pages, I tried to come in without expectations. That, by far, is the way to do it. What I read was not quite on my list of expectations.
It was actually a lot better than I expected and a fun little story before lunch. Thankfully, I'm not having eggs.
This was… only for the writing… I’ve never read something so disgusting in my entire life… and ugh I wanted to puke. Imagine if the book was an even bigger one… it was extremely fast paced… even too much. But I’m still happy to know that I have still triggers… which all this book (if you can even call it that) was…
Rob Nelson, I have a question. What. The. FUCK?????
I never thought I'd have to take a break from an 8-page novella. Do NOT read this while eating. And don't make the mistake I made and eat scrambled eggs before reading.
This novella is absolutely disgusting, revolting, horrific, god awful. All things it set out to be. Therefore, it gets 4 stars (There were some grammatical errors and I'm annoying, so I have to dock a star from the rating).
This is extreme horror/splatterpunk. Read at your own risk.
Wow 😳😳😳😳, this was not what I was expecting...I knew it be something especially with the cover and hearing about some of the author's work. I already had an aversion for eggs... this just solidified it
Meal prep is the way to go. I mean prepping gives you so much more time to focus on other things. Lesson of the day: always leave him two fucking eggs! 🍳 This was such a gross little read and I loved it!
This is only 8 pages and it's 8 pages of WTF. I don't know if I should be laughing or running for the hills but I would like to know what is going on in Rob Nelson's mind!!! 5 stars for this absolutely batshit crazy read.
