My first Eric LaRocca book! I'm usually not a fan of short stories, mostly because not every story is going to be a hit. The first half of the book was really good, but I wasn't a big fan of the second half. I did love the writing though, so maybe I'll try out some of their other books!
I hated You're Not Supposed to Be Here so much!!!!! I knew something was up with Vince, and what was up made me so mad. I hate reading books with infidelity or cheating in them. It will make or break a book for him depending on what happens.
Graphic: Body horror, Cancer, and Death
