I finally read through CotC. This was the most insane piece of literature I have ever read. I wasn't expecting it to be multi-layered in that there's parts of the story that really happen and didn't happen. Almost like American Psycho with a supernatural element to it just a lot stranger.
I really want to read more surreal books after completing it. Where do I go from here?

I actually bought this and am liking it even though it does feel like a horror movie that's trying too hard, I appreciate the effort author just needs to get a better editor to correct those unnecessary apostrophes and I think we could be looking at something no cap.

>the girl who had perky tits and very fair skin walked down to the arcade wearing nothing but a long Guns and Roses white t-shirt. Her hair was red.
–"They told you the man here. That true?", she asked me
–"Who the fudge is talking about me?", I replied, "wait don't go... Yeah, I the man. Did the Police sent you?" I asked.
–"No, sir, I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you didn't kill my parents", the girl said.
–"Well put those little red lips to thank me then, sugar tits", I said.
The girl then proceeded to take her shirt off and show me those perky roses of hers. I then showed her my guns.

"The capsule began to shift violently as the gas gurgled from deep within Frank's stomach. All around us a whirlwind of bubbles and half-digested cum buffetted the capsule back and forth, swirling unsteadily around in the parastalsys of his gurgling ooze. The burps coalesced together and rocketted out from his belly up his esophagus. From above, in his trachea, we hear his awkward, autistic-ass voice mumble a "e-excuse me" as he covers his mouth, trying desperately not to be embarrassed around his date(though 'she' was only there because Frank begged to pay for everything). "Thats...That's it...We'll create a whirlpool of gas to gurgle around in his burp belly so we can rocket ourselves to safety and ride the vomit out onto the trap's shirt, re-size to normal size, and then slice it's head off so it can't try and spread it's gay aids!" prof. retard said. "that's...genius..." muttered anon. "But how?"
"It's simple," a look of devilish glee glittered in the professor's eyes, "We jack off into Frank's fat burp sack until his stomach can't take the sheer volume of cum and force it to throw it all up." A top-marks idea.
"But...he's too used to large amounts of cum inside of him already...it'll never work...."
Again, the professor smiled, glasses reflecting the LED console by his head. "That's why I brought a super-weapon for this very occasion."
He moved towards the back of the ship and pulled a white cloth over a cage to reveal a feral, yet drugged and sleeping black man.
"No one can stomach the chocolate rain..."

Yeah. In the book two of his friends who are just gay ripoffs of doc and marty go inside of him to fill his stomach with so much cum he throws them up so they can re size and kill a tranny. There's an amazing part where frank describes his rather disapointing and scar-riddled penis being only able to get it up if he whispers the lyrics to toxic by brittany spears to it. The book is really good to wipe down with if you run out of toilet paper. Frank may be a faggot but he's definitely a genius. Making a book that can not only be used as kindling to read actual books by in low-light conditions but also as toilet paper if need be. I don't know any other author that has ever openly advertized that before. Also Frank apparently jerks off to Reading Rainbow. What can I say? The guy is a huge, cum-digesting retard.
