HEs gay

[Anonymous No.13123742]

lol for a moment I thought that was William Gibson

He's not terrible, it's just that his books are the kind of stuff you expect to see at convenience stores selections. The only reason he's still relevant is because people can't forget about Fight Club.

He’s a decent writer, not worth gushing about every day. just because you don’t see threads on him doesn’t mean he’s hated

Rant and Fight Club were okay. Everything else is shit.

I unironically liked Pygmy. But I only read it once and in high school and during my Chucky P binge.

[Anonymous No.13123975]

his books seem kinda formulaic

[Anonymous No.13124506]

I don't hate nor love him. I'm just not his greatest fan, but I enjoyed some of his work in the past.

[Anonymous No.13124801]

i really liked rant, i think there's good in some of his lesser works like haunted and lullaby as well but none of them have enough aspiration. the only thing i read of his that i thought was truly bad was damned
