[Max Restaino · Rating 5 out of 5]

Probably the most I’ve ever laughed aloud while reading a book.

[Phillip Freedenberg · Rating 5 out of 5]

First completed read of 2026, at its simplest…if you love submitting to the profound, intoxicating, cognitive ascendent potential of a creative taxonomy of the deluge of the brilliance of the arabesques of the entropy, beauty, and horror of the post-modern information stream, there is no greater book for you to W.O.M.P. your way toward than to The Total Destruction of John Trefry.

The first book I have ever seen reference Pissgrave. That is enough to get 5 stars from me on its own. I went into this book not really knowing what to expect, and I finished it not really knowing what to expect. What I do know though, is that I didn't want to stop reading it. A jarring, confronting, morbid jaunt through a field of scattered thoughts. I loved it. I'll read it again probably.

I hope the colour scheme and inclusion of Morbid Tales in the subheading is a Celtic Frost reference, which I'm almost positive it is. I initially bought the book because it reminded me of Celtic Frost.

More literary criticism should mention Pissgrave.

"I don't really enjoy reading books, but I still look at them. They are real things."

The book we all tried to write and failed. Review apparitioning elsewhere.
