The bizarre and fantastic adventures of Clay Loudermilk as he stumbles upon the mysteries behind a snuff film and becomes involved with increasingly bizarre characters should appeal to David Lynch fans. Adult.

This reminded me of the Scorsese film After Hours but cranks the surrealism up to 11. Although it‘s odd, you can follow the story, the weirdness is kind of matter-of-fact and it doesn‘t think that it‘s smarter than the reader despite the fact that I had to Google a few of the references. I really enjoyed this. Clowes is often imitated but he is an original and distinctive artist and storyteller

vivastory I haven't read Clowes in awhile but I recall loving 2y
The_Book_Ninja @vivastory I‘ve not read a duff Clowes☺️ 2y
Bookwomble "Should appeal to David Lynch fans" in the blurb caught my attention. 2y

The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble Still breaks my heart that no one likes his Dune💔 2y
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble actually even he doesn‘t like it😂 2y
Bookwomble @The_Book_Ninja I love Lynch's Dune!! Obviously, it has issues in terms of the adaptation to film, but it has so much wacky energy, gorgeous sets and costumes, and a pretty much perfect cast. Love it! 😄 2y
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble agreed. I love Villeneuve‘s movie but when I read a Dune novel, it‘s Lynch‘s aesthetic I see in my mind 2y

Mehso-so

Someone recommended this to me because it had a "huge influence" on them. And now I am a little bit scared of them, tbh. JK ?...kind of. THIS THING IS TOO WEIRD FOR ME. And I love weird. ? Your mileage may vary - but please wear a seat belt.

SeeJaneRead Update: I've thought about this every day since I read it! So maybe NOT a pan??? I don't know. IM CONFUSED. HELP ME DR. BUTT. 8y
