Swallow Me Whole, by Nate Powell

The first book in nearly 100 that made me want to break the 52-word limit. I could write hundreds of words, but constraints spur creation. Beautiful in form and content, it portrays the thin narrative boundary between mental illness and the supernatural with creepy, heartbreaking precision and a fully realized, singular vision.
