Hello!

Today I am delighted to be reviewing an arc of A Cup of Tea at the Mouth of Hell: (Or, an Account of Catastrophe by Stoudemire McCloud, Demon) by Luke Tarzian. I have been so excited for this one ever since it was first talked about, and yet I was still unprepared for just how powerful this short book would be or how much I would love it, and is often the case in those situations I don’t feel as though I’ve done it justice here in the review.

Disclaimer – I received a copy in exchange for an honest review, and I also had the honour of being a beta reader for this one, however all thoughts are my own.
