Absorbed by Excrement by Michael Errol Swaim

When the boundary between life and art collapses, is anyone safe?

Joshua Meyers’s life has not been without struggles, but he finds solace in writing extreme horror—an endeavor that hasn’t made him wealthy, not exactly. But he and his family enjoy a comfortable existence. On the surface, Joshua has everything a man could want. But underneath, his urges rage, and his cravings for debasement and debauchery border on obsession. When he finally achieves every writer’s heart’s desire—his words leaping off the page—he learns that it all comes at a cost.
