The Bugman's attempt at "art." Like a simple parlor singer trying her hand at Die Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen for the first time. Bugman trash. Bugbane wins again.

You can't read it in one. It's impossible. The book represents words in weird patterns or even as images, and makes the reader interact more with the book thant what a normal read would be. But that's impossible to properly display in an e-book. Picrel are examples or how pages are done in this book.

It isn't a very complicated story. A young and sad pitiful dude finds a book that an old dead guy wrote and reads it, and goes insane. But the way the story is told is so cool and unique.
