I guess it depends on your dad's past -

I'd put it on par with Stoner as it gave me massive feels relating to life crushing you and there's nothing you can do about it. The main character is a bit of a loser, a poor orphan, who just tries to survive life and constantly losing.

There's a quiet intensity in the spewing magma, and the typeface looks great.

You could not ask for a better cover than this.
