The "LET'S GET UP WITH THE SYPHILIS!" caught me off guard 😂😂😂

Anda, fun fact for you: The Bachmann competition involves live readings that are also televised - which means the first text was performed and then commented on by critics on live tv! Love the Bachmann competition, it's just so wonderfully strange.

It's been years since I read it, but regarding BF, and I forget where I got this information, the book is playing with the philosophy of Descartes. Descartes' famous sentence "I think, therefore I am" is, Descartes thinks, self-evidently true. It's the only thing that Descartes can't find reason to doubt - in fact he thinks it is impossible to doubt - and as such it becomes the first principle of his philosophy. On top of that foundational truth Descartes attempts to elaborate a whole philosophy. So what if we replaced that sentence with another sentence, and one that is unspeakably horrid? And what if that sentence was foundational and some poor guy had to build a life, a sense of self, on top of it? That's what is going on with the narrator of BF, and that is why the narrative keeps collapsing and contradicting itself. He has to posit a world in which that sentence makes sense, but nothing coherent can be built on such a foundation.

that first one honestly made me very inspired, as someone who used to write a lot and now barely writes at all due to health reasons. i had no idea experimental books were a thing like that. i think i have to go write an experimental horror novel right now!!

Jesus Christ that first book title… wow. Surely you end up on a watch list merely searching for that 🤣 How do you not have feds at your door after purchasing it?!

I might be reaching, but the most famous Paul and Linda I can think of are Paul and Linda McCartney. Both are well known to be vegan/vegetarian, and that last quote about calling ourselves "we" makes me think of "we are what we eat." Maybe that first book is simply about the meat industry? Fun fact: Paul and Linda McCartney guest starred on an episode of the Simpsons, and they agreed to it as long as Lisa Simpson became vegetarian.

Garrett as I understood it to be was the cheap apartments situated in the attic space rented out to poor artistes in Paris

This may be a STREEEEEETCH But is seems like the first one is about a thought and then not being able to forgive yourself for having said thought. Paul being the person who fell into the idea, and Linda being a person trying to pull him out of the obsessive thought. At least from your summary.

These book titles honestly made my day. Forsure only going to be able to read these on Kindle or have a book cover over them😂

I like Mosley! Please have more videos with him.

ohhhh I was always interested in that first book but never got a chance to read it! hearing someone discuss it honestly and read a few quotes from it is very interesting!

There is a book called Hogg that I have only heard about. And that's all I have to say.

Not with an offensive title, but naked lunch by william s burroughs really reminds me of the vein of these books. i’m reading it rn and i’m not even 100 pages in but it feels like i’ve already read 5 different books. Would recommend:) !

what a RIDE. I love your analysis of things!

I just got "Irene's xxxx" Going to give it try. Love your recommendations 😜

Love it!!!

Anda, have you read any Poppy Z. Brite? Some very well written extreme stuff. Exquisite Corpse is a good one to start with if you haven’t

Ooo that’s a cute little doggo❤

I'm always so happy to see you upload! Also have a recommendation for you: To be Devoured by Sara Tantlanger, I just started it and it's interesting... to say the least

bf definitely sounds like there is a lot more to it than just the surface. i might have to give it a read!

Paul and Linda... wouldnt that be a coincidence..? 😄

I don't doubt that the books are Horror for people and sure the things done is these books are unacceptable and horrendous. But I am still in search of a book that invokes horror in me. I want to be afraid. :(

Your schnauzer is so cute!

MOSELY!!! OMG SOOOO CUTE! Sorry if I misspelled!

Now the email with your reads from goodreads make more sense :D

"This book is not about what you think it is based on the title. But it is. But it might not be." Juan Valencia

If you can stand frustration, read Stanislaw Lem's "The Investigation". The only one detective novel where neither the reader nor the detective has any idea about what's going on.

I wonder what would your opinion on "Party Monster" would be? The killer actually had a youtube channel with painting of fentenal and he even had a groomed child (Desmond is amazing or something). The killer has since passed away, but that was a thing for a time.

I had 2 of the exact same breed of dog named Hank and Sophie. Hank is grey and Sophie is black. Your dog looks like my 2 dogs fused together haha. Cute little fella. These books sound insane by the way 😂

i love your videos Anda

Kind of hard to be offended if I can't interpret what's being said 😂

I don’t what this says about me but I saw that yellow book and instantly knew what it was

You should read Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs. The craziest and most offensive book I've read. It has moments of horror and sci-fi in it too.

16:28 the voice over was the biggest jump scare of my life

Omg where did u read these at? Can u image reading them at the airport lol

Whats with the baby voilence in books. its so hilarious and out there, that its not scary, its not even hard to read, its just comical and sad...

Blame James Joyce!

I keep getting recommended your videos And there's so many questions I want to ask, but it's just... Well, it's just too many for a youtube comment tbh lol update: looked at some of your older videos out of curiousity and actually i got one my questions answered! it seems the market loves extreme horror💀haha

Have you ever read Eye Scream by Henry Rollins? It reads like insanity.

just from your readings it feels like the first book is told by the narrator who's lost in their own memories of like a childhood assault?

That first book really makes me question the authors mental state and the other book makes me want to avoid the dark web even more

People are crazy Books are more crazy Well, totally love it.😂

looking at goodreads reviews for babyfcker and the scope of reviews are people extremely confused or people who gave it 4 to 5 stars giving the most incomprehensible explanations for the book.

@charlottemossy brought me here. Happy Reading! 😎📚👍

Is your dog named after Bill Moseley?

Again, I will reiterate the point I have always made about extreme horror: if you cannot be arsed to write a content/trigger warning at the beginning of your book, then don't bother. It's not hard and refusing to do so only makes these authors look like whiny edgelords who can't handle criticism despite the genre they write for. Most of these books feel like they're trying to impress me with how shocking and gross they think they're being. Like, do they want a medal for writing mediocre gore without plot books? Fanfiction exists, I can read that shit for free and with warnings. >_>

AGAIN, A MAIN REASON I MARRIED MY WIFE WAS HER SMELL.

INTERESTING TITLE. THAT SCENT IS THE MOST SENSITIVE, EMBARRASSED TOPIC OF CONVERSATION TO MOST WOMEN,

feedback: the rambling nature of this vid wasn’t for me. Research and structure would be a bit better. This is just rough

Might i suggest books written by serial killers??
