More Eighth Block Tower madness

Fight Tub, by William Pauley III is the fourth installment of his Bedlam Bible series featuring the residents of Eighth Block Tower. Eighth Block Tower can be described with one word. Forking bonkers. Okay, that’s two words. Eighth Block Tower is a self-contained little ecosystem where people come and go, but residents are never truly independent of it. There’s salt and slime and a single prisoner in the basement. And people sprout spigots and pipes and become their bathrooms.

Like the others in the series, this is narrated by Connor Brannigan. I can’t get enough of his deep smooth voice delivering weird stories through my earholes right into my noodle. Since I can’t have him narrate my existence, I continue to enjoy his performances of William Pauley III’s novels.

As the Goodreads description states, this is the story of a man who becomes his bathroom. It seems like a totally random transformation, beginning with a spigot that our protagonist attempts to disguise with bandages and absurd lies about barracuda attacks. Most of his coworkers ignore his condition, but one guy fixates on it and assumes he’s joined a fight club. Every new bandage has Karl even more convinced that there’s a secret fight club and he wants in. Meanwhile, Drebbin’s office crush decides she’s going to transform herself as well while his boss apparently catches whatever ailment he has and starts his own transformation. This story is somehow more absurd and unhinged than earlier books in the series while also being light hearted and just plain funny.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me. I feel like I don’t see enough of Pauley in the review space. If you’re into bizarro, you need to read Pauley. He is a fantastic writer with an imagination like no other.

Like Kafka’s ‘Metamorphosis’, but funny…

This bizarre tale reads like a modern spin on Kafka’s ‘Metamorphosis’ (though, far less depressing). Once again, the author takes you into the fever-dream that is Eighth Block Tower. More characters are added to this wild universe. I look forward to the next odd installment with relish.
