A tiny collection of micro stories that are all, in their own way, dark, irreverent, hilarious sick, rhizomatic, and just plain fun.
The final short story in the book got me strangely emotional.

Maybe my favorite book I’ve read this year. A woman’s son dies, and she cuts out a piece of his lung and feeds it.

Theres something so nice about being able to sit down and finish a book in under 30
minutes. Time that would have otherwise been spent scrolling mindlessly on a random app is instead spent enriching my brain and taking me on a little journey from beginning to end.
Sometimes I don’t want to read the same book for a week or two. Sometimes you just want to scratch an itch and be done.
I’m not ashamed to include a 17 page book in my total count for the year, and you shouldn’t be either!
Anyways, The Ritual was just that, so 10/10, I recommend not only this book if you’re looking for a little sampler of holiday horror, but ANY little novella you can get your hands on.

A very short story, a poem from a collection, a short chapter from a novel, a review of something you love, something small that will focus your eyes and invite your mind to wake, that you can then finish, put down, and move along.

Everybody meet Tomato! (government name: Chloe) She is a very very shy but sweet little lady who is one year old. I already feel like we're kindred spirits because we both take a while to warm to people. She is currently sitting comfortably with the dust bunnies under my bed.
