Christ on a cracker.
Here’s the geist, Dark Assembly is yet another collection of shorties by Beauregard.
Started out dark as hell, which I should expect from Beauregard, but damn he went dark fast.
Shall we do a check list? Mostly because I’m at a loss for words here.
Grieving mother looking for a miracle: check
Let’s explore exciting, one might say explosive, means of birth control: check
Twisted degenerates torturing others: duh
Weird sexy girl in skeezey place: check
Weird sexy girl shares way too much: check
Slightly unhinged woman regaining her virginity: check (one of my favorites in this collection)
And finally the cherry on top of this quite literal shit show…..
Deranged kiddie diddler/murderer get his just desserts(also a favorite, cause fuck that guy): check.
If you go through the list and think holy cheese balls this sounds terrible probably not for you..
However, if you say this and get a readers chub then I highly recommend.
Beauregard has been one of my four favorite finds this year.

I bought this book purely because of the cover, without knowing what it was about (I mean, look at this cover! How can I say no to this?) and it was really intense. Nearly all of the stories made me deeply uncomfortable at one point or another, some because of how sick and disgusting they were, others because they were creepy and disturbing on a more psychological level. All in all, story was unique, sickening, and well written. I especially like Some Girl and The Procurement of Purity
