For future readers: horror abounds! The content warnings are not to be taken lightly. This collection has beautiful writing that evokes great emotion. Truly a beautiful look into horrific tales that manage to titilate and churn the guts. In the text even, ha!

I bought this after being a longtime follower of the writer's art. I kept thinking about this collection, but didn't take the leap to read it due to my own queasiness with horror. That didn't change; I'm still very queasy with this type of horror. That's on me. I don't regret reading it, just perhaps I wasn't quite ready for, uh, the horror of it. 

TL;DR: Wow! Such good writing, great pacing, excellent horror. DEFINITELY worth the read if grotesque horror and erotica are your interests.

For the author: Love your art so much! It was super exciting to see your work branch out into writing. Thank you for sharing this with us :D

A lovely beginning! This lays a solid foundation for future fun. Previous knowledge of Ram Lightly's work or characters isn't explicitly necessary, in case you're interested but unsure of if you need to look over previous materials. This is an introduction to Father Basil & Co., so I don't think the reader needs to have devoured Lightly's archive of luscious work beforehand. The writing within this is very tight, focused, and well done. The illustrations within are evocative and lovely (and survived digital formatting; I read via Kindle app). Lightly's exquisite linework back at it again. I'm personally very excited to see where else this tale goes.
