Lala
Short, Brutal and Bloody.
I put this book off for so long for no particular reason, and it ended up being everything you want in a Splatterpunk novella. It is fast, vicious, and strangely beautiful in that way where the gore feels almost poetic. The brutality has this emotional undercurrent that makes the violence feel intentional instead of empty. The body horror goes wild, but it’s tied to obsession, decay, and the way obsession rots everything it touches.
The pacing never slows down. Every scene hits hard, and the imagery sticks to you in that “I should not be enjoying this as much as I am” way. The flower motif blooms through the violence in a way that feels symbolic and disgusting at the same time. It’s messy and completely unafraid to go too far.
For a novella, it leaves a bigger mark than it has any right to. Splatterpunk fans who like their stories fast and feral, bloody but intentional, and beautifully grotesque will have a good time with this one.
