Shocking. This book is such a treat for lovers of the absurd. The book oozes uneasiness throughout only to erupt catastrophically in front of your face. I’ve read some messed up books before, but Earthlings provided an incredible sense of horror that I’ve been searching for. All I heard going into this book was that it was just weird. I wasn’t expecting how crazy it went. Go in blind. It’s fantastic.
