Carlos’s Reviews > A Sick Gray Laugh > Status Update

Have I lost my capacity to read fiction? I can see the stylistic similarities to Ligotti or Michael Cisco, and yet that now that style isn't enough to get me to push through on an opening that's up its own ass about the in-story "author," their mental health and publication history, and what they're NOT going to write before telling us about the grayness they see in the world. It's like an anti-hook.
