a book of in-betweens. dreamscapes that never get quite as strange as they could. surrealist weird fiction that rejects the catharsis of vandermeer. stark quiet language, plenty of body horror, but nothing ever begins or ends- we just drop into the middle of it, regard for a while, and then the story is over. 3.5 stars. i rather like the catharsis of vandermeer.

i'm about 3/4 of the way through. strange surreal violent and melancholy, with forays into edgy teenage boy levels of "we live in a society"

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this book accidentally got right up to the precipice of something interesting several times, and then each time immediately startled itself and sprinted away

i'm 1/2 way through and really don't get a single thing that's going on. it's engaging in that it's making me consider what makes effective vs ineffective fantasy, but it's also a shame because i think that buried under waaay too much vocab there's an interesting world in there- if only i could figure out what it is.

no idea how i felt about that one

pretty much just a tv pilot for a show about a necromancer solving plane crashes. entertaining enough.
