Here, a middle school biology class spirals into a surreal vivisection. A man returns home each night to chew the freshly grown fingers off a corpse to avoid going into withdrawal. A monster in an upstairs apartment kills people, records songs about it, and retweets his victims postmortem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these stories, love arrives wearing the mask of addiction and absurdity. If Brian Evenson and Ottessa Moshfegh wrote for \u003ci\u003eThe Wire\u003c\/i\u003e you'd get the unique style of David Simmons.
