Got Your Goat by Edward Lorn
My rating: 3/5 cats
i keep seeing this dude’s name in little pockets of my goodreads friends; the ones who dig the gross scary stuff, so i decided i would check out this freebie story to see what all the fuss is about.
and i’m still not sure…
true, this is a wicked short little story, and it definitely appeals to those of us with a love of the lowbrow, but i’m not entirely sure what my eyes just read.
now, i have expressed numerous times before that goats are just … assholes.
they are bullies
they are intolerant and disrespectful
they are all likely insane
they’ll jump all over you
and they do that thing where they pretend to be cute and harmless
when they’re really just gearing up to attack and eat us.
or our pets
or our movie stars
so i got no love in my heart for goats.
and this story really just reinforces how unsavory they are.
but it doesn’t do much for humans, either. here, humans are hit-and-run douchebags who plot revenge and leave friends behind in horrifying situations.
i feel like i need to read a longer piece to adequately assess this guy’s writing. all i know is man = bad, goats = worse.
and testicles = delicious?
