Classic Wtf-is-it-a-thing-or-not-a-thing VanderMeer. Enjoyed it!
This was like a dreamy, surreal poem.
I hate dreamy poems.
DNF.

Horror Fable
This is obviously an extended fable about writing and authorship. The story begins with the author holding a story, which burrows into him, and then transforms him, and, then, there is a sleep of 100 years and more and more transformation.
This short story is not a story. It does not have a discernible plot and is written in something like a stream of consciousness format. However, we can discern from the weird transformations and descriptions that are strange and horrifying that author, Jeff VanderMeer, is still working out some of the themes that formed the core of his Southern Reach trilogy.
If you are interested in a story that could be a bad acid trip, then this story is for you. If not, give it a miss.
