@beardedbetts.bsky.social has written one of my favorite books of the year..ask folks, I can't shut up about it . @tenebrouspress.bsky.social published another banger of a book. See my review on Substack for my full thoughts
Like Johnny Mnemonic meets Fargo meets In Bruges, MIDWESTERN CHROME follows naive dopes, pathetic sadsacks, & people just trying to get by in a world that hates them. Near-future Nebraska isn't so Nice, and sure as shit ain't The Good Life. Jack in. Bliss out.
