Felix I. D. Dimaro

Bug Spray was released on Kindle today, and I am so excited to tell y’all that it is phenomenal. It’s the debut novel from Dimaro and it’s every bit as good as his previous collection How to Make a Monster is. Again, it comes with a warning in the beginning of the book, that you’d be well off to read and consider, because it’s not wrong. Bug Spray is a dark, intense, unsettling look at actions and consequences, and the wreckage that mistreatment of each other and mental illness can leave in its wake. It’s tragic and even though I would wager most readers would agree with me that Tybalt is an overwhelming asshole, by the end of the book, you can’t help but feel sorry for him (even while you can’t help but think if anyone deserves his fate...) It was also really fun/horrifying to see a couple of characters from How to Make a Monster put in an appearance. This was my first romance of horrors read, and I gotta say, I loved it.… (mehr)
