A Beautiful Story of Love & Monsters By Michael Adams A touching, strange, and eerie story set in a post-apocalyptic world haunted by strange daikaiju where the remnants of humanity live in defensive platforms called Towers. These Towers are driven for a millennia by a human sentience, but one, Alti has been removed or rejected by his Tower, and in the aftermath is experiencing a strange series of transformations... is he becoming that which he has been created to fight, or will his search for his lost love, Quatra, herself imbedded in a Tower, fuel an even greater evolution? A beautiful story of love and monsters. Highly recommended.

By Jeremy To begin with, I have to confess something I didn't realize until recently: I hate writing reviews. It feels like doing homework, only on something that's supposed to be fun. So, I have to feel really compelled to write a review these days. The reason for today's compulsion is this year's class of New Bizarro Authors, courtesy of Eraserhead Press. This is one of the few annual events that still brings me some joy in a frustratingly adult, postmodern, miserable, hand-wringing, finger wagging, bureaucratic existence. For a few hours, Karl Fischer helped me forget about that existence. Perhaps even project it onto the protagonists of his novella.Towers is a postapocalyptic tale that feels refreshing due to its complete lack of zombies, power grid failures or any of the other claptrap that has become as standard as Bill O'Reilly hanging up on callers must be to talk radio listeners.It's a love story that stabs you and hurts you in the same way that Tiffany Scandal's There's No Happy Ending did, because although two lovers are the main characters, their love is treated as if it's inconsequential to anything. They are forced to live in what I could only understand to be giant robots with communities of mutated lifeforms living inside. All of this in the name of religion. Karl doesn't beat you over the head with religious commentary, though.The true stars here are the combined love of Alti and Quatra and the prose of the novella itself. Fischer definitely seems to have had his thesaurus handy here as he plows through stygian imagery with the most careful descriptions. No stilted sentences here. The whole thing flows like poetry.My only real critique is that the ending seemed a bit too abrupt, that there wasn't enough time for our star crossed lovers to share the stage with their bleak cast of crustacean antagonists. I felt like maybe it should have been full length to better explore this world Fischer carved out for us, and also allow Alti and Quatra more time to a) spend together and b) find each other again.

Those are some nasty looking creatures. Pretty sure they want to obliterate us. Crap. Quickly, everyone, into the towers! Thank the fates we have such brave compatriots willing to sacrifice themselves for a millennium to become these giant edifices of 100% SUPER AWESOME KICK THE LIVING BEJESUS OUT OF THESE MUTATED INSECT MONSTROSITIES!And it's not all terrible news. Why, if they are able to somehow survive a thousand years of uncompromising carnage and death coming at them day and night, they are rewarded with a trip to heaven and everlasting peace and happiness. Bliss with the ones you love, content that you did your part to ensure humanity's survival. Heck yeah! What more could a mere individual mortal ask?So, I guess Alti has plenty of reason to wonder why he wasn't allowed to enter heaven after his tower stint. He was promised it along with the love of his life, Quatra. Instead, he's been reborn another oyster in the shell, another human stuck inside a tower. He's needed, the administration is pleading, he is essential. But what about his service? What about those promises?? What about Quatra, you jerks??? This isn't what he signed up for. Oh, you better believe he's gonna find out what the heck is going on.EGO SAYS:If there's one thing I try to understand in people, it's the motivational force that love brings with it. Alti is driven completely for and toward the one he loves. He is scared, though. What if his love isn't genuine? He worries, perhaps, that this love is too perfect and therefore it, or his perceptions of it, must be wrong. I like this flaw, as I believe it important to always have some doubt in mind. It keeps the mind alert and ready for change. I cannot predict the whole of a thing, only it's pieces, and not knowing can be scary but it is also a reason to strive, to live.Alti's love interest, Quatra, is the opposite. She knows. Instinctively. I like this flaw, as well. Her certainty comes with risk, but she is willing to risk. The dangerous aura she radiates only makes Alti's love for her strengthen. She is patient, also. Calmly standing by Alti's side when he is unsure. Acquiescing when he decides they should become towers so they can spend an eternity in heaven together afterward. And when they are separated, and Alti is faced with the possibility of never seeing her again, he chooses to believe that she is out there doing exactly what he is, searching.As this is a love story, primarily, there are not too many ancillary save for one, Yuan, who acts as a guide for Alti in more than one way. The question of who Yuan is is never fully answered, but his purpose is definable enough. He seeks to help Alti escape the tower to seek out Quatra, but he also encourages a transformation in Alti, one that begins with never giving up and using his new pincer claw hands to their fullest extent.SUPER-EGO SAYS:I must say, first and foremost, that this book is weird. Of course, you say, it's a Bizarro book so why wouldn't it be weird? Okay, this is true, but there is something in the style, the language, the flow of this short novel that makes it downright odd. It feels odd. This is a compliment. I was reminded of some of the early Bizarro books I read some 7-8 years ago, particularly of Carlton Mellick III's TEETH AND TONGUE LANDSCAPE. It's not just that the story is weird, it has a weird sensation to it that made it a joy to read.Mr. Fischer has a knack for pulling on the heartstrings, and this reader is ready to admit a scene or two got him a bit teary-eyed. His language is vivid and voracious without ever bogging down the rhythm of the story. He keeps it detailed but clear, and his descriptions pull you into the repugnant, hellish landscape and compel you to endure the madness alongside his poor, lovesick, antagonist.What I took from this book overall was it serves as a reminder to us that no matter the situation, no matter what changes about our life, environment, or our very selves, we can find solace and the strength to push forward with the singular momentum of the constant we call love. I love this book and this book loves us all. I recommend reading it with a juicy tangerine. You'll understand soon enough, dear oysters.
