Review of 'Differently Morphous' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

"H.P. Lovecraft meets Political Correctness," Is how Yahtzee Croshaw described Differently Morphous in a conversation with Stuart Goldmsith. After listening to the audio, I'm convinced that this story is one of the better ways to convey the issues surrounding "political correctness". Or rather what Jonathan Haidt (Coddling of the American Mind), Irshad Manji (Don't Label Me), Bradley Campbell and Joseph Manning (The Rise of Victimhood Culture), and others have brought up while not only staying true to the craft of comedy and satire, but to write out a story that had me listening non-stop for hours on end.

The fact that H.P. Lovecraft was brought up is also ironic, but that's a review for a different day. If you're familiar with Yahtzee's work on the Chzo Mythos, whether via his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ73fyGdjZw&list=PLkkiai4nXBVL8CqfMQk4KMtKibKJUfBwZ&index=5"Ego Review YouTube series or by playing the games proper, Differently Morphous is like a love letter to Trilby in the best possible way.

For anyone unfamiliar: Five Days a Stranger, Seven Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes, and Six Days a Sacrifice. (If I missed any, let me know.)
