This collection is SOOOO good. Gooey and delicious, with gorgeous prose delivering the squishy squelchy goodness of flesh suits being torn apart (and occasionally put back together). Serious issues like queerness, eating disorders, sexual assault, murder, viewed through the lens of self-abandonment

This collection by @spicycloaca.bsky.social delivers on the gore, the poetry, and perhaps most importantly, a wondrous matrimony of the two unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.

i can't fathom how anyone could listen to an audiobook of Beloved, because i keep needing to go back and reabsorb / reread. there's always so much happening

aw, thank you; you're too kind! just so you know, i lent one of my coworkers your collection, and she seemed pretty excited to start on it
