A piece of literary beauty.
What can I say to describe a book that had me entranced from the first to the last page? It made me laugh, it had my holding my breath with anticipation, and it made me shove the book under my husbands and children’s noses to show them the meandering words of Dead Papa Toothwort as they crawled across the page. It’s just a glorious book!
I marvel at the mind of someone who can write something as original and beautiful as this - it’s poetry in prose form, and I loved reading every word.

When I saw on instagram that The Lonely Island surprise released something on Netflix, I was kind of glad I was sick today. It's visual poetry about Mark 'McGwire' and Jose 'Canseco', mostly featuring doping. Apparently, it was supposed to somewhat resemble Beyonce's Lemonade, which I've never seen because I can't stand Beyonce.
The songs are solid Lonely Island songs, absurd and crude, as always, but hilarious. The cameos were good too, Sterling K. Brown played Sia in one song, and there were SNL and B99 actors throughout. Overall, not a bad 30 minutes for a The Lonely Island fan.

Don't judge a book by it's cover is something I've been told since I was little. It's something I still do and this story showed me how that bleeds into judging people and why first impressions are important we most certainly should never judge a person based on our assumptions. I enjoyed reading this book the story was slightly frustrating in parts but I simply think the author was just trying to emphasize the conflict so that the light of why we shouldn't judge would be brighter. I also loved the poetry along the way one of my favorite parts of the chapters.

Another mixed bag of Lovecraft-inspired fiction and poetry. As usual with this sort of thing, some of the stories are basically in-jokey games of Spot-the-Yithian, while others suffer from the authors trying too hard to bring their own agenda to the HPL milieu. Some reasonably good stuff apart from this, though, assuming you like pulpy horror-fantasy. Editor S.T. Joshi gets very precious, even perhaps a touch pretentious, about this stuff given how cheesy and broad-brush some of it is. The wheat-chaff ratio isn't brilliant but it passes the time.
