Talk:50 Foot Ant's Second Story/@comment-24817640-20140428232123

I love these so, so much. But seriously, proofread. OK, now that that's out of the way...

These stories are the definition of "visceral," slathered as they are with pretty much every bodily fluid in existence-- sweat, blood, tears, vomit, piss, stomach acid, and some kind of pinkish brain juice... The physical and psychological brutality of what Ant is subjected to is staggering, and watching him just keep on coming and refuse to stay down is just so much fun (although admittedly in a twisted, sadomasochistic sense of the word “fun”).

I feel like I know these characters so well, especially Ant and Nagle. My one complaint is that I could stand to know more about Bomber, actually. My heart just about bleeds for these damaged, fucked up kids, even though I’m sure they would laugh and blow cigarette smoke in the face of anyone who expressed such a thing.

I'm hooked. Off to read Humper Monkey...
