Reading Rejection feels like watching a train crash but the train is you.

This is sort an anthology with a strong enough thematic connective tissue that I actually like it. Wild.

• weaponized crippling loneliness
• I don’t believe that “Hell is other people” but the POV characters in Rejection are, some tragically some less so, Hell.
• reductio as absurdum used as a sledgehammer to smash your soul into pieces by portraying something very real but exaggerated
• Rejection is a Horror novel and there are a couple jokes in here that sent me into laughing fits. This is writing
• linking the sections together with common characters and cameos is so good
• the term antisocial can’t even begin to describe the headspaces Rejection puts us in
• one of the most soul crushing reads
• absolutely floored by this, the number of paragraphs in this novel that are extremely accurate, cutting, specific reads that decked me repeatedly is criminal
