"When you're given a gift, something else gets taken away."
A precocious young girl with an unusual imagination is sent on an odyssey into the depths of depravity. After her father dies violently, young Mara is surprised to find her mother welcoming a new guest into their home, claiming that he will protect them from the world of devastation and destruction outside their door.
A grotesque and thrilling dark fantasy, We Can Never Leave This Place is a harrowing portrait of inherited grief and familial trauma.

Critic reviews
"We Can Never Leave This Place is the apocalyptic 21st century Grimm's fairy tale you need in your life. Eric LaRocca plucks images directly from the muck and mire of our id and fashions them into something grotesquely beautiful." (Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World and The Pallbearers Club)
"We Can Never Leave This Place is a bleak and tender, monstrous and visceral fable of family and loss, and the courage it takes to confront them both." (Kathe Koja, author of The Cipher)

So in this tale we have Mara, a teen who in the first chapter has to clean the body of her murdered father.
It does not get any better after that.
This story had great, vivid descriptions of the sewage covered apartment, but the people here are paper thin.
I did not feel the horror that I should have as I could not really care about what was happening to Mara.
The narration was awesome though, I enjoyed that immensely.
At least it's short...

Funny, but a quarter of the way in I realized that I could hear Eric in the writing. He has a truly unique voice. And I’ve only read one other of his so that’s pretty impressive. Dude seems to be bursting into the scene so there’s lot’s more to come from him. And I’m glad for it.
This one was dark and strange with some heavy themes and content. It’s a little like a bad trip or fever dream and I think that’s exactly what it was.

Wonderfully spun

The narration was kinda irking me...like Jennifer Coolidge and Kirsten Stewart had a baby, and tried to traumatize that baby by having them read this book. Not great.
I'll buy the physical book and reread to enjoy again.
surreal, unexpected
