I really enjoyed Glorious Exploits. I am holding off on the new Rumfitt despite appreciating Tell Me I'm Worthless. Thanks for finding all these to amuse us.
Great video! I have Beautyland and Glorious Exploits. Hoping I enjoy both. Brainwyrms…I’m not sure if I want to read it in or not.i just read Tell Me I’m Worthless last month and while I found it clever, it was also a tough read for me. I can’t imagine what Rumfitt’s writing is like when they’re actually trying to disgust you. 😅
Say Hello To My Little Friend is fantastic. I almost didn't read it because it sounded a little too self-consciously quirky, but I'm so happy that I did.
I'm really interested in your comment at the end that says that Mary and the Rabbit Dream could be perhaps a nod to tate or peterson. Could you elaborate on this in another video? Or, perhaps, elaborate in a reply? This book isn't available yet in the US so I'm not able to make the connection at the moment (or, there might be something really obvious I'm not connecting because I'm a weirdie : P). Love your videos!
fax machines enabling alien communication? count me in 🤣 The BrainWyrms cover has such a retro feel, but I don't like the taste of my own vom in... I think I'm too much of a wimp for it. fab spotlight of some truly weird sounding books 👍
Yeah, at just after the halfway point Alison Rumfitt asks her readers to take an intermission, get some fresh air because it's about to get serious fucked up and I'm like, what was a warm up? It's intended to disgust you; but her first novel (Tell Me I'm Worthless) while still a bit out there, is much more what you're expecting of a punk horror novel.
