When I first saw this book listed on reddit in the selfpublish sub, i thought "that's the dumbest title i've ever seen." For the next 2-3 day I kept thinking about the title, and how stupid a book must be with such a title. The book also being self-published by a first time author was off-putting. The description, too, suggesting it's a silly low-budget horror movie type story, wasn't peaking my interest.

But the title. The title stuck. I bought the damn book.

Lo and behold, it is probably one of the best pieces of literature I've ever come across.

Growing up in a small town myself, Steven somehow captured the exact environment, social and otherwise, that I grew up in. I could connect with all the characters on a personal level, like looking through a mirror. Like this was my own life story. It was vivid, and real. More real than I've ever felt reading a silly book about space zombies.

I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone who want to try something different. The title, the description, it may all be weird and strange and not pique anyones interest. But the content of the actual book, that's an entirely different story. It makes sense, in a way, the way the title is written, the way the description is written. I don't think I could have made a better go at it myself. It's a shame Steven moved away from writing to focus on film. He had a talent that could rival the greats, if he had been given the opportunity.
