Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke by Eric LaRoccaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke, by Eric LaRocca, 2021
Agnes and Zoe develop a relationship over the internet circa the 2000s. The story is told in a series of emails and chatroom messages. What starts as a wholesome exchange of negotiations for an antique apple peeler between two women becomes a story about obsession, loneliness, sadomasochism, control, and delicious body horror.
I was gripped from page one by this uniquely bizarre love story. Though at times I was giddy with the squeamishness I knew was coming, I still squealed with guilty pleasure as the author unfolded gory details. The level of absurdity was just right enough for me to stomach the depraved activities.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
