What I got was that same innovative writing style that I saw in Things Have Gotten Worse, but so much more. He recently re-released You’ve Lost A Lot of Blood. I wanted to write a LaRocca review but also wanted to focus on a book I hadn’t read yet. LaRocca’s imagery is very ornate but the subject matter is so dark. Even though I’m picky about poetry, I do love the way that LaRocca writes. I’ve always been a novel person, poetry was never my strong point. I think the reason why I like LaRocca so much is that the writing style is different than mine. I grew up in the early days of email and AIM, so that book also brought me a huge sense of nostalgia. For that story specifically, I loved how the book was written through a series of emails and IMs. The salamander scene was rough, not going to lie, but I love the innovative and modern writing style. The first work I read from LaRocca was Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and I really liked it. And like many people, I was first drawn to the covers. Eric LaRocca is a writer I see everywhere on social media.
