Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke by Eric LaRocca
Note: I don't like giving star ratings as I dont really understand the system. Please forgive the lack of one.
"It's because the planet is a carnivore and just wants to be fed. People want that as well. People like to eat other people. I spent so many years forgetting I had teeth, too."
What an incredibly grotesque and horrifyingly beautiful piece of literature. The book explores a series of encounters between the two main characters. Each one is more disturbing and boundary breaking than the last. It's raw, unflinching and unapologetic. It forces the reader to directly engage with uncomfortable situations and questions.
The writing is not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to confront the true depths of human depravity. I cannot in good faith recommend this book to anyone, unless you thoroughly understand what you're getting into.
