As someone who is an avid fan of both Silence of the Lambs and Veggie Tales, I can confirm this story appeals to me, 1000%
There is something about the absolute gross factor that tickles the erotic corner of my brain. Like, yeah, you’ve got me, Basilius, I do find this hot. 🫣
As always, the prose is beautiful and the framing devices/POV shifts are so fun! I can’t get enough of Laurent, I hope all dogs really do go to Heaven.
10/10, would watch a monk drink King Bathwater™ again
