competencefantasy's Reviews (912)

Really nice and theres not a lot else like it. As a criticism I feel the climax and conclusion went too fast.

The really excellant illustration and rhyme doesn't carry the vignettes being too short and unconnected for me. I prefer his books with a complete story.

Good solid horror of its kind.

Wow

Jeff Vandermeer remains the master of the beautifully worded, unsettling, thematically rich fever dream of a story that I always feel like I might manage to understand slightly more if I just paid better attention

It was around the time I realized I was picturing Lori with my mother's face that I realized I was strapped onto a roller coaster.

Ok, here's a better review.
It's been more than 24 hours since I read this, and I can't stop thinking about it .

Well that was a whole lot better than I was expecting. Especially the world interpretation. Gosh

a) heavy heavy hitchhikers guide to the galaxy vibes
b) i need an audiobook experience with this next
c) reading this in a single sitting is a trip

One of the coolest primary sources I've seen
