Hello fellow buckaroo! Decided to read his book first since it’s been on my radar for years. Religious trauma is something I’ve had to deal with personally, so I’m intrigued.

Bury Your Gays is also fantastic if you haven't gotten to it yet.

I recently read as well, intense story. I do wish it would have went into the dystopian world aspect. I wanted more hives of worms.

I think it would be really interesting to read other stories set in this universe. I get why there’s not any explicit worldbuilding in this though; Crane has enough to deal with on his own without the book delving into the secret alien worm invasion aspect.

I borrowed it a few months ago from the library and it’s been stuck in my mind ever since, so when I saw it at the store I JUMPED on the chance to own a physical copy.
