Starving Ghosts in Every Thread by Eric LaRocca
5.0
If I ever had to compare a book to a hauntingly abstract painting, it would be Starving Ghosts in Every Thread. Even though it was a very short read, at just 89 pages, Eric LaRocca built a solid story that felt like a mix between horror and the downright absurd.
His protagonist’s condition was written about in an eloquent way, even though it was a bit gross at points. You will know what I’m talking about when you read it. I felt drawn to Teddy from the beginning. Her grief and emotions were easy to understand, and I was really rooting for her happy ending.
Hard to believe this is the author’s debut novella. He surely has a knack for writing intriguing and odd (in a good way) stories.
Thank you Eric for the opportunity to read this beautiful novella.
