I was given this book by a friend and had no idea my life would be split into two parts: before and after reading it. In a few hours time I experienced so many emotions I haven’t had before and as nasty as the feelings were, I wish I could go back and start it again. But that’s the point, right?

Oh... my god.

This little book floored me.

Not sure what else to say. It hurt. In the best way.

I used to really enjoy "Bizarro horror", the type of stuff I used to absolutely adore but I think I've kinda grown out. Actually, I know I've grown out of it, but everyone was telling me how great Cult of Loretta was fantastic so I decided to give it a try.


Sadly, Cult of Loretta get's a 1.5 from me. Thought the prose was boring, and Nelson's 'revelations' to be kinda fake-deep. The only part I did like was the bits about fatherhood, you can tell Maloney is a father himself, but that's really it.


Note: I'm including Cult of Loretta as Bizarro Horror as that's typically what Lazy Fascist publishes, and that seems to be the general aesthetic of Maloney's other works.
