Are You Loathsome Tonight?: A Collection of Short Stories, by Popy Z. Brite, Poppy Z. Brite
4.0
Sometimes I just want to read something that tickles the back of my brain, that unsettling and off sort of thing. No wait, all the time. I meant all the time. Thanks Billy/Poppy.
But anyways, they're just short stories, a bit more fun than Wormwood's collection (but not as serious feeling, if that makes sense). I enjoyed "Arise" and "King of the Cats," as well as "Self-Made Man."
It was also great to see Trevor and Zach again, being well and "boring."
It's not the best thing I've ever read, but it's a short, entertaining read. You probably want to come at it once reading Brite's other stuff, and take it as a type of gift for fans, not necessarily as a stand-alone introduction to Brite's work.
