In space neon neon space, luna rey hall holds our eyes open—in public, in private, when we’d rather close them—and compels us to witness; the chafe of society on identity, the sharp provocation of sand into pearl.

brilliant?? 🥺🥺🥺

I can cheat a little here because I've been editing a book by the brilliant @lunareyhall.com so it was today BUT book not out yet so I'm going to plug their previous work, the patient routine, which deserves a wide audience. Extremely raw & powerful horror novella in poetic form.
