For fans of: grief horror, Neverwhere, gorgeous prose
This book is the embodiment of love as self-harm. The breakup that leaves you wrecked, the emptiness the ending leaves behind. My only experience with Brian Asman was Man, Fuck This House, which I greatly enjoyed. I had no idea he could write such beautiful, gut-wrenching prose. This is grief horror at its finest and one of the best books I've read this year. Strong 5 stars
