GOD this was fucking superb. The most hilarious and perfect rendition of Perseus I’ve ever read. He’s such a little fucking knob. 
I can’t talk about Medusa yet. It’s too much and too heartbreaking and too absolutely soul destroying.

Honestly one of the most physically beautiful and stunning books I've ever possessed. Even if you're not "into art" (you just haven't found the right artwork yet) you really should own a copy of this book.

This was such a fantastic book. Each essay was wonderful. Some were fucking hard to read for how close they felt, and others really inspiring. Plus the illustrations are incredible and I desperately need one (or two or few) as a tattoo

I'm not really sure what I just listened to, but it was at once both ethereal and bizarre.

Strange and otherworldly. Love the way Armfield writes, and I LOVE the way the book was set out into the different zones of the sea.
