This is a great fcking book! I bought it because the author was trying to sell 35 copies by a certain date and the book had an interesting premise--a girl named Catty who can telepathically communicate with roaches. I never thought I'd actually feel ...more

Chandler Morrison is Bret Easton Ellis with a modern sensibility. And because Ellis is one of my favorite authors, I've been on a Morrison kick lately.

This book is very timely, exploring the digital hellscape that is our culture and future: the Porn

Chandler Morrison is the only writer who can make you invested in a budding romance between a necrophiliac and a gal who eats dead babies. It's the romantic comedy no one asked for but a select few of us needed. You won't believe the meet-cute until ...more

Anything with eyes makes me extremely squeamish, but I survived. I'd rather read about a girl eating eyeballs than read a book about something foreign growing out of someone's eye. I HATE body horror. It makes my hypochondria act up something fierce! ...more

Stephen King, Different Seasons
