Underskin. Content Warning.
There’s something under my skin. I feel it moving there, sometimes. Squiggling like a maggot flailing in a bird’s mouth. Slowly, it works its way from place to place, and my fingers writhe with its passage; the passing of a slug leaving rot along its wake.

The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy is an utterly phenomenal book. I struggle to put into words the beauty of its prose, or do a semblance of justice to the ragged and raw story of trauma it tells. Reading it changed me, changed the kind of books I hope to write.

The King In Yellow: 200 Word Reviews #5
The King In Yellow is a rough, jagged cornerstone of Weird Fiction on which so many later, and better, writers have built their work. They far surpass Robert W. Chambers, but plant their stories in ground he broke and, in many ways, paint within the broad lines he lay down.
