It's like he intentionally wrote a POS to prove his name alone could get a book published.

Brandon Barrows @brandonbarrows.bsky.social · 2d

Jesus Christ, that book is a POS. Some of the worst prose I've ever read.

Who publishes existential horror? Nothing supernatural, no violence, just the dawning dread of being.

Brandon Barrows @brandonbarrows.bsky.social · 5d

A Target ad from 1968. Really going for the hip, young Mod crowd.

Brandon Barrows @brandonbarrows.bsky.social · 6d

Huh. I'll have to pick it up.

Despite the subject matter, it has real classy slasher vibes.
