Viscera

This book tackles topics like identity, transition, queer spaces and relationships, amidst a deliciously dark setting and a twisted plot that will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire read. The characters are the focus of the story and they are carefully crafted, odd little beings that will stay in your brain long after you put the book down. I would recommend this to anyone exploring their own identity or just looking for a fun and captivating read.

Gabriel Squalias first book, Dead Boys, is one of the best books Ive read in the last few years. Ive told pretty much everyone I know and many I dont know about it. If you havent read it, you should! It is only connected to Viscera by the author. The reason I bring it up is the high expectations it gave me for Viscera. Luckily for me my high expectations were met and I really loved it! It has elements of fantasy, horror, adventure, and many eviscerations. Loved all the characters. The good, bad, and the inbetween. Wonderfully fleshed out and interesting. I loved the world building. There are a lot of different religions, sects, magic and more to learn about. Its so naturalistic and flows with the story wonderfully. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading fiction. Pretty sure this will be my favourite read of 2017 and Ill be busy recommending this to everyone!

I loved this quick bizarro novella! It had multiple turns in it that took me on a new adventure in every section. Well worth the read, was not expecting the end.

Another great book by G.Squailia. I enjoyed this book more than his last.

A new author for me, and he/they are good. I am a fanatic for urban, sci-fi, paranormal, mystery, horror...well, anything that showcases a really talented author. This takes all of my genres and slants them sideways, with a cocktail shake. A really vigorous, over the shoulder shake. Its like a medieval fairy tale that dreams of Stephen King , studies under Seanne McQuire, and flirts with Devon Monk. Unique is a pretty mild word; utterly creative and captivating arent strong or dark enough.

Not for the faint of heart but so richly written it is worthy attention. Gabriel takes the reader to another world with characters both human and inhumane and managed to hit us in the gut with images of our own world as woeful as it could be. This book offers a lot to think about and isnt that what all great writers offer in the end.

Novel idea. Word ending. Story is not coherent with many elements missing and uexplained even at the end, would not read again

A mashup of dystopian future and fantasy, this book is somehow grotesque and optimistic at the same time. Nice character development and well written. Its dense and rich, but surprisingly easy to read.

Madly inventive, exhilaratingly original, beautifully disgusting, delightfully queer. A must-read!

Read cover to cover. Impressive
