Four teens in a New Hampshire mill town abuse a bizarre hallucinogen called WHORL in order to cope with a devastating suicide epidemic.

"Like smoke off a collision between Dennis Cooper's George Miles Cycle and Beyond The Black Rainbow, absorbing the energy of mind control, reincarnation, parallel universes, altered states, school shootings, obsession, suicidal ideation, and so much else, B.R. Yeager's multi-valent voicing of drugged up, occult youth reveals fresh tunnels into the gray space between the body and the spirit, the living and the dead, providing a well-aimed shot in the arm for the world of conceptual contemporary horror." -Blake Butler, author of Three Hundred Million

"Ever wonder where teenage children go at night? Perhaps it's best not knowing the answer. There's something amiss in Kinsfield, a drab, boring city much like your own, except for the teenage suicide epidemic, stagnant, ineffectual parents, cultish behavior that borders on psychosis, and strings, strings everywhere. B.R. Yeager's Negative Space is a hypnotic collage of message boards, memes, and ruined bodies twisting at the end of a rope. Most modern novels have lost all concept of magic. B.R. Yeager's Negative Space is a stunning refutation of the quotidian." -James Nulick, author of Haunted Girlfriend & Valencia

It’s easy to be shitty when someone loves you unconditionally.

Gostei dessa pegada de ter três pontos de vista diferentes e ainda um quarto personagem que só conhecemos pelos olhos dos narradores. Mas a obra num geral não me agradou tanto.
Tive que me forçar para terminar porque tava super arrastado a partir de pouco mais da metade do livro. Começou a ficar muito confuso a conexão da Lu com a linha do tempo dos outros personagens, sem falar de outras situações que me deram a sensação de terem sido jogadas ali só para encher linguiça..
Não entendi o hype dessa obra. Senti que perdi tempo.
