Utterly original, like a handbook on why not to become a serial killer though not humourously. The thoughts that may perforate your subconcious sometimes explored, othertimes best left be. This made me reel in disgust and horror and melt with the tenderness of some parts. A very sensory read.

At this point I don't think there's anything Eric LaRocca could write that I wouldn't like. This had me hooked from the first page and I couldn't put it down I went into this not really knowing anything about it and honestly I feel that's the best way. This not only had the main story but 2 little stories interwoven which I really enjoyed. Eric has a way of really making you feel for the main characters despite the depraved and strange things they do. I highly recommend.

I have read LaRocca before and actually don't mind his work so I was quite intrigued to give this one a go as I thought his writing is a bit quirky. This is not what I expected at all. This was just sick to be honest. I have read Splatterpunk and read some truly awful books, but for me this just went too far.
Ashley, I guess for his living, buries people for "fake deaths" and they come out as better people. His son has also gone missing. Now I know this is sad, but the whole book is just so depressing. Yea Ashley's life is shit, his wife also died of cancer, so yea he is going to be sad. There is almost no light and no hope for anyone or anybody and even though this is a short story, it feels like it just drones on in this big well of misery.
Ashley reads this blog by a guy who's husband has cancer and gets off on it. Then we divulge into the story from the husbands POV and honestly it is horrifying. For someone to have thoughts like that is just down right disgusting and this book really makes me question the author (Are you ok?) and has just changed my whole view point on him and his writing.
Then the ending just killed it for me. Just made me sigh and throw my hands up in the air. I feel my time and eyes were wasted on this.
I have read other reviews and I feel like people like to jump on certain books and be like this is amazing and oh my GAWD best thang I've ever read. For me, this is just not ok. Bin it

Another absolutely exquisite book from LaRocca. Shocking, dark, gruesome and twisted, this kept me on my toes and my stomach clenched. I cried. I was angry. I was overwhelmed with empathy. Eric is a lyrical genius.

I’m a huge fan of the author so At Dark I Become Loathsome was a must read for me. Like his other work, I found this beautiful and strange and disquieting. I didn’t want to stop reading wondering what would happen between Ashley and Jinx and if Ashley would ever find out what happened to his son. This is a scant book, more of a novella really but felt like something much longer. This is a gripping, engrossing read. I’d recommend it if you like books that are sinister, strange and beautiful.
