hybrid havoc<p>Just finished City of Saints and Madmen by Jeff VanderMeer. This is really just a phenomenal collection.

I almost never knew where any of the stories was going to take me.</p><p>Highly recommend.</p><p><a href="https://darkfriend.social/tags/JeffVanderMeer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JeffVanderMeer</span></a> <a href="https://darkfriend.social/tags/Ambergris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ambergris</span></a></p>

An artist receives an invitation to a beheading–and finds himself enchanted. And a patient in a mental institution is convinced he’s made up a city called Ambergris, imagined its every last detail, and that he’s really from a place called Chicago.…</p><p><a href="https://darkfriend.social/tags/JeffVanderMeer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JeffVanderMeer</span></a> <a href="https://darkfriend.social/tags/Ambergris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ambergris</span></a></p>
