Negative Space

Product Information

Yeager already liked my review, so I suppose that's a good sign. When I read his debut novel, Amydalatropolis, I was absolutely horrified. It was the first book to TRULY frighten me. I couldn't sleep, I devised various ways to get it out of my house (return it at B&N, donate it, throw it in the trash) but each method was much more effort than I was willing to expend, mostly because I was worried if someone FOUND the book and linked it to me, and started thinking I was some sort of deviant. This is another argument for another time, but one of those pesky stereotypes of readers is that they thoroughly enjoy and identify with the text their reading, and therefore the content of the book becomes associated with the reader's character. I can confirm that although I read and love transgressive literature, I'm about as a square as some maiden aunt in a Jane Austen novel. I don't think I've ever read anything that SO accurately expressed my inner mental state all the time? This book feels like it was pulled straight from my own brain.

s hauntingly beautiful prose made every reading moment feel like it streamed away, ceaseless, like waves that keep on seeking the shore when the light of day is fading and a darkened sky gathers. Yeah, this is not just a book to read. It's an experience to be immersed in. A dark one, yet magical nonetheless. I don't think I will be sleeping soundly tonight. Make way for the new generation - B.R. Yeager is at the frontlines, and hopefully, if I can muster the talent and courage to make my voice and the voice of the people with less privilege and similar anxieties to me heard, I'll be right there with him.Along with this existential dread is also the pain of being a teenager in a world where there is only drugs, sex, and death constantly surrounding you. Social media plays a huge part here too in spreading the disease of suicide and darkness. It is frightening to watch how much the teenagers rely on it and all the innocence that can be destroyed through the exploration of its unlit corners.

Negative Space is a beautiful book – raw, honest, and vulnerable. Searingly intimate and thought-provoking.’ When she learns of her husband's infidelity, she starts wringing her hands and notices for the first time that this is not only something that happens in booksWe've seen a lot of highly creative, quality work from the Brazilian ad studio Leo Burnett, and this clever campaign for Fiat encouraging people not to text while driving is a highlight. As Lovecraft himself explains, all weird stories are characterised by “some strange suspension or violation of the galling limitations of time, space and natural law which forever imprison us and frustrate our curiosity about the infinite cosmic spaces beyond the radius of our sight and analysis.” Thus, the terror of Lovecraft’s weird fiction is premised on an external, alien reality (or ‘The Outside’ as it is sometimes called) infiltrating or encroaching upon the known terrestrial-empirical world of humanity, therein causing unfathomable horrors and mind-shattering anomalies to occur within the time-space continuum. Indeed, the metaphysical implication that throbs consistently within all his stories, regardless of character or plot, is the inability of human consciousness to fully grasp the true and essentially monstrous nature of reality itself. To quote the much-cited passage which opens Lovecraft’s most famous short story The Call of Cthulhu
