There are no saints by sophie lark serial#

Sometimes I just want to understand what you're trying to tell me without having to read, re-read, google definitions and piece shit together. I always appreciate that because if I wanted to read Infinite Jest and feel like a 'smart smart', I'd do that. I'm not a literary expert, but her writing was engaging and easy to read. That was only enriched by the story she told and the style in which she wrote. Sophie Lark begins the book with a kind note to the readers who have 'struggled with mental health' and tells us that everything inside of us - the good and the bad- are special because it makes us who we are.

There are no saints by sophie lark serial#

Then one day, to no fault of your own, you end up on the radar of not one, but TWO serial killers! It really is brutal out here.

You're a small potatoes artist working three jobs to not only make ends meet but also to fund your real passion in hopes of one day achieving your artistic dreams. Now that we've had a philosophical break down of the human experience, let's move on. We want to be involved but not affected and thanks to creations like this, we can live vicariously through the fictional works of a world where no one actually gets hurt. It has the same pull that a car crash on the interstate has where even when you are flooded with mostly negative emotions (fear, anxiety, sympathy, sadness) you still can't look away. This type of book is tantalizing in the same way that following along with a messy celebrity break up is. However, we all have morbid curiosities inside us for things we would never actually indulge in. It's on a spectrum just like most of every other human experience/emotion. Not everyone sees the appeal in the things I just listed, I get that. As long as you are not hurting anyone, you shouldn't feel bad about indulging in things like this, especially when everyone has the same inclination to a certain extent. DOES THAT CONCERN ME? No, and here's why.įor those of us who enjoy things like this - horror movies, true crime documentaries, violent video games, kinky sex and taboo, nefarious acts that we know we would never in a million years commit or participate in in real life - this book checks all the boxes, blends them together and delivers it to us to be enjoyed in a safe, low risk way. From the beginning to end, it was a salacious mishmash of mayhem, murder, art, sex and chaos that I enjoyed. Let's go ahead and get this out of the way ok? Dark romance is not for everyone but I liked this book.
