this was an event of a novella. a collection of short stories with a similar theme, this is gross & amazing. you get mostly stories from the viewpoint of animals & insects, with a couple human povs at the end. any content warnings you find, take seriously. LaRocca is a pro at descriptive horror and this is a very visceral experience.
a lot of ew, gross moments. but also some sweetness in a few spots. definitely not recommended for anyone new to horror or more extreme genres. but I really enjoyed this one.

And what's with the authors thing for plucking out eyeballs??
It's been a Rollercoaster for me and LaRocca, I hated Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last spoke, but LOVED You've Lost A Lot Of Blood, and now strongly disliked this collection. I'll give them one last shot with Everything The Darkness Eats next year and if I don't like that one it's just not meant to be.
