Quick Lit Shit #13: Already Dead

I read this so slowly it took me the whole book to realize the fucking cover looks like a goddamned skull. His prose is kind of perfect in a fucked up (too lyrical and bloated, if gorgeous) kind of way that many poets suffer at their own reformed hands. But, he pulls it off despite its troubles. Hell, I wish I could write fiction like that (that well) some times (most times). --RWK
