This novel consists of multiple vaguely connected shorter stories about perverse love and obsession, madness and death. It's not as easy read as you would think and there might be lots of references Europeans wouldn't get, but it's still a great book.

What the heck was that? Troma went full 80's kids' cartoon with this and it's just as stupid as it might sound. The best part of this show is the ironic tone, which makes the overly political correct and clean dialogue feel very tongue-in-cheek and fun.
It's not that good, though. The people who made this actually knew the creators of TMNT and there were even talks of a crossover with Toxie, but it never went anywhere.

This novel is like a literary version of Citizen Kane, it's all about flashbacks and complex circulating psychological narrative. It's even said that the author attempted to create his own written vision of visual cinematic language. Isn't that interesting or frigging what?
This isn't an easy and quick read, though. You should at least be aware of this stuff before checking it out. I wasn't at first, and it was difficult to follow.

The mother and father of all epic historical novels and my grand christmas project. First time I attempted to read this I had to stop before the first half was done, but now I made it to the end and it was great. Had I known that the best parts actually begin after the first 2 books (out of 4) I would probably had read this one way sooner. Totally worth it.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about: an adult horror fantasy with sex, violence and a "superhero". Spawn butchers all the pussy MCU Disney kids' films without mercy, this thing actually has some balls.

A rich elitist artist ends up wandering in a jungle with bunch of other people. While they try to find their way through the darkness of the forest and the wonders it hides beneath the mysterious surface, the man thinks about his inner world.
What an interesting novel, very rich in both meaning and depth. Carpentier was clearly above most other writers of his time.

There's nothing like bingewatching some old cartoon from the good old 90's. I don't even know if there's a legit way to watch this one other than some crappy bootlegs, but what the heck it's fun.
Eek the cat is the most naive, innocent and loving little creature that always ends up facing the wrath of the cruel world around him. Basically it's a slapstick comedy where Eek always tries to help someone and only gets punished for it, the humor is so over the top mean and cynical it's really funny.
I just love Bill Kopp as Eek, that voice fits in like a glove.
