Ichthyic in the Afterglow

Ichthyic in the Afterglow

In the afterglow of a world that was, and will never be again... Clem is a suicidal mime, degenerating into a fish. Cassie is a teenage brat, pregnant with a child that seems to center around mysterious cults devoted to cats and dogs. "In ICHTHYIC IN THE AFTERGLOW, Jason Wayne Allen has selected elements from Robert W. Chambers' THE KING IN YELLOW and H.P. Lovecraft's fictional dream-realms and skillfully constructed a futuristic nightmare world that gleams like a poisoned river with an oil-slick spectrum of toxic colors. Move over, William S. Burroughs: you may have prepared a NAKED LUNCH, but now Allen is serving up an orgiastic smorgasbord of decadent horrors and wonders." - Mark McLaughlin, Author of BEST LITTLE WITCH-HOUSE IN ARKHAM and HIDEOUS FACES, BEAUTIFUL SKULLS MORBIDBOOKS.

This is the weirdest book that I have ever read. That is not why I only gave it three stars. It was suuuuuuper rushed, which made the weirdness way less appealing. There were also some strange tense changes that I did not follow at all. I really wish the writer actually took time on this book. I probably could have liked it. Maybe.
