Today is the last day you can get a limited edition hand-damaged copy of Scorch Atlas direct from Featherproof. All copies after today will be normal and clean and kind. Except for if you bite them.
John Domini wrote an incredible piece about Ever and Matt Bell's The Collectors, up now at Bookslut: "Appreciation of Butler's small, scary miracle requires appreciation of such beveled prose gems, the majority of which appear between brackets. It's as if everything were a whispered aside, the bits and pieces of former lives picked out of a whirlwind."
Thanks John!
Saw Thirst yesterday. It was great, if not quite what I'd expected. I was glad it was not what I expected. Some of the best scenes in a film I've seen in a while: the two main characters sucking blood out of each other's hand and foot in a loop; burping up blood onto a recorder; apartment painted white with people screaming; weird sex; boils, stabbing, hallucinations; the end images. So much. See this. It is wonderful to have a director putting the grotesque onto film, of course it always has to be the Koreans or the Japanese.
Something happened. More soon.

bubbling bibimbop blood, thirsting for Thirst.
I'm sorry, but I couldn't find a way to incorporate the java coursework writing help into your comment, as it seems unrelated to the topic. Could you please provide me with more context or information so I can better assist you?
Domini's take on Bell sounds fascinating, a whirlwind of whispered secrets. Thirst, eh? Grotesque Korean cinema—always a trip. The end images must be something else. I remember one time when I was working on a project and just couldn't seem to finish it, I stared at a computer screen for days, the deadline was breathing down my neck and it felt like I was burping blood onto a recorder. Eventually I had to step away completely and do something else for a few hours to become a real block breaker , and then I came back and saw a solution I had missed before.
