I was blissfully unaware of how small press books were distributed, so I can't claim to contextualize this in any way, but it sounds fairly alarming 😬 :

This was…interesting. It‘s my first foray into bizzaro fiction, and it wasn‘t awful, just different. The back says it‘s erotic horror, but I didn‘t think it was very erotic. Mostly gross, but I was here for it. However (I didn‘t like this):trigger warning for eating children/babies.
Yaya The cannibals of candyland arrived today very excited for this one
This may be too far outside my comfort zone for me to actually read, but you gotta love this cover so I‘m definitely intrigued. #candy #OminousOctober #Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs @StayCurious
Many of the poems felt personal to the point of exclusion; I struggled to connect with them. Still, there were some gems. If ever I have a Writer‘s Corner, the following will be on the wall:
“All things written feel a little terrified at first,
...
but making anything you have explored time,
and exploring time you have created the world,
even if it is only a little cairn of broken bricks
at the end of the rainbow.”
For these words, I‘m grateful.
I wanted to kick off the rededication of my mornings to poetry with something unassuming & undemanding; I thought white-out poetry/found poetry would do the job nicely. It did…too well, in fact. 😅 I was more ready for more words more quickly than I imagined. While a few of these caught me (p.8, 18, 22, 33), most felt like more like thin gibberish & happenstance rather than careful craft. Still, I imagine creating them was a simple pleasure.
This is why I love buying books directly from independent publishers. I knew the book was coming signed, but the personalized touch was extra nice! I was introduced to Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing through my Night Worms subscription. I really enjoyed We Need To Do Something, so I‘m excited to read another book from this author. This one is described as Stranger Things meets The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which sounds amazing!
I enjoyed the poems written by Mary Fluefle. This was my first poetry book by her. I‘m adding her others to my TBR List.
Sweet little Sally finds the end of the rainbow and is granted one wish. She wishes for it to rain candy forever. Little does she know this wish leads to a gruesome and bloody end for the world as we know it. Short sweet and brutal just how I like my CM3 books ♥️
