I'm reading a bit more of Gus' Brooklyn Artifact. I'm interested in the way his writing is so violently repellent. That is the quality that makes me come back to it. It is definitely very well written. You can't fault the control and the surfaces. There's something genuinely powerfully grotesque about it too, repellent is really the perfect word because it's so hard to get close to, you don't want to get close to it, it's appalling. But why that is is maybe harder to answer.
I think its so repulsive because its a bit of a self own. Peeing your pants at the party because you know it will totally troll everyone there. And as weve noticed from the begining suspended has always had a humiliation fetish.

It does share some qualities with Craner's early work but it doesn't have the charm. It's almost spitefully charmless.There is the same provincial fascination with glamour, the rich, the beautiful, the powerful and the same ability to create smooth, hard prose surfaces to mirror that glamour.
See- 'Spitefully charmless'

I've just noticed Gus has redesigned his site; looks much better, imo. I'm not sure about the sidebar, but the background and layout are nice.

this is a really cruel thing to say. very artfully disguised but unmistakeably a stilleto in the heart. it says, unlike your true friends Luke and Limburger, I can't be fucked looking at your writing let alone forming an opinion on it.

i said it was the first masterpiece of the Incel movement and that it's reppelant qualities were one of the things that makes it stand out

dont mind us Gus we are not your target audience. the main thing is that you wrote a whole book. i bet corpsey has never written a book before and he's 41 years old.

I don't mind. The last time someone read and responded to my work was 2016, they had some great one liners I even had it printed as a sweatshirt. Maybe I'll make some custom apparel with this review too. Reappropriation... Empowering like how lesbians call themselves dikes.

"Repellant, grotesque, spitefully charmless... An incel masterpiece."

Might add a testimonials section to the webpage. If you wanna understand your enemy, feministas... Read this
