Pest
Michael CiscoTravel Through StoriesI finished Pest by Michael Cisco this am and it might be the strangest I've read recently... It includes a kind of masturbatory orgy scene involving: a Himalayan yak, a Messerschmidt head, anthropomorphized parts of a church (nave, narthex, etc.), ogres, and Immanuel Kant. https://t.co/0EKFe0AHij https://t.co/sltcgb7TYl
