Series Review: The Kingston Cycle by C.L. Polk

Greetings and welcome to Reviews That Burn: Series Reviews, part of Books That Burn. Series Reviews discuss at least three books in a series and cover the overarching themes and development of the story across several books. I'd like to thank longtime Patron Case Aiken, who receives a monthly shoutout. This episode discusses The Kingston Cycle by C. L.

Little Stranger by Edie Fake

“Little Stranger” by Edie Fake is a strange and absorbing nsfw comic that captures the feeling of weirdness and discomfort that is/can be part of existing in a body. It is explicit, gruesome, evocative, and a perplexing read.

When I say “nsfw” I mean an entire book of beautiful but amazing comics that are somewhere between erotic and body horror, depending on your kinks. It’s a quick read, but if you like it you’ll probably keep going back to different sections to re-examine the different narratives happening through the book. It depicts themes of dysphoria and dysmorphia without being a book about feeling bad. It seems to be more about how to feel good after feeling bad. It’ll be either totally your thing or you’ll know ten pages in that it’s not for you.
