Description
Every day Griffin Batt goes to work at his job where he cuts off his left hand in a single swift strike.
Griffin Batt hates his job where he cuts off his left hand in a single swift strike.
He hates his crumbling apartment, where the floorboards swell like infected flesh. He hates the algorithm-fed hustle gurus who insist his suffering is a growth opportunity. The only thing Griffin loves is his fat orange cat, Mr. President.
But when he gets fired mid-amputation, he must navigate gig work, sex work, and a grotesque corporate dystopia to get his hand back. Griffin is determined to put himself back together, come hell or high water. Unfortunately, hell and high water are coming, along with Jun Saito-James, the handsome medical supply clerk who becomes his last tether to humanity. Together, they're going to have to deal with plumbers wielding chainsaws, professional dog killers, and monstrous pig-human hybrids before they can find their way to anything like happiness in a world where the water grows teeth.
A blistering fusion of gut-wrenching body horror, sidesplitting absurdist satire, and heartwarming queer romance, Sinister Extremity is the novel our crumbling world deserves.
