The Tyranny of Desire by Morty Shallman

I usually stay away from any book that warns you away because you just can't handle the edge lord content, but something about this one caught my attention.

Slight spoilers ahead.

So in here we have Puchy Mushkin. His claim to fame is his massive wingdinger. He is not a nice person. After trying to sleep with a guy because his boyfriend rented out a place to show his art which upset him, Puchy is crucified by his now ex boyfriend and almost lost his massive wingdinger, but the cops show up just in time. This starts his trying to change? make different? something with his life.

After way too many interactions and deeds, he ends up in a psychiatric hospital, because of course, and at one point hops on a woman he obsessed over while she was brain dead and humped, licked, etc while claiming that he would take care of her.

He spends a couple of years in the hospital and after a penis reduction surgery, was sentenced to go back to law school and ends up back with the guy who tried to crucify him.

The epilogue has him doing something in revenge and of course that is as expected as the rest of it.

I don't know why this had to lean so hard in the over the top rhetoric. This was written well, had a few funny parts, and could have been an out there story had it been told in a way that made sense.

All in all, this was not as horrible as described, was not so edgy that one would run screaming into the night, and had promise.

I would definitely read more by this writer.
