review 1: The first thing that struck me about this book was the careful language, followed by the book's structure. Carr's attention to language is a precise happening, a distinct (compelling) voice both in narration and characterization. That is, he possesses the ability to inhabit--in a very short space--a multiplicity of "real" voices, both believable and stylized while maintaining depth and focus. The structure is a kind of weaving and unweaving that, for me, had a certain filmic quality, while not verging on making that the pure focus of attention. I don't think I've read this kind of horror novel before. I don't think this kind of horror story existed before Carr told it, in the way that the structure itself becomes a kind of finality, a kind of void. Definitely recomme... morended.
review 2: This book, although full of beautiful prose like Carr's other books, is stripped of a lot of his language, and instead, readers are left swimming through Scrape's bare bones. But really, if the back cover description of this short novel doesn't grab you, nothing I saw will. I love that Carr uses horror legends from Spanish mythology. Besides that, his characters are great. Overall, I loved this book. Admittedly, I liked Motherfucking Sharks more than Carr's latest, but Motherfucking Sharks is a book on another level of genius. And therefore, just because Carr didn't outdo his last effort, this book is easily still one of the best books of the year. All in all, another win for Lazy Fascist and Brian Allen Carr. Cameron, LFs editor, told me that he and BAC will be working on more books in the future, and I pray that this is the case. Together, these two produce the best literature being published today. less
