Mostly Dead Things is beautiful in its fuckedupness and authentically queer. The taxidermy details and animal hard could be too intense for some. Totally not my usual kind of book, but in some ways it very much is, as indicated by the above. This book is such a strong debut.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Cancer, Gore, Infidelity, Suicide, Death of parent, and Toxic friendship
