I'm happy to welcome back Matt to tackle this terrible book. Matt's youtube channel Bookpilled is one of the main inspirations behind SFUltra and his engaging, thoughtful reviews make him official YouTube Book GOAT. His patreon is worth it and then some.

SFULTRA #27 - Monarch - Candice Wuehle
“...Thank God you let me crash on your couch
Who's my God that I’m prayin' to now?
…
Made her go home, felt the virus
Web of life is my weed, false dreams stripped by silence
…
Deals they had us sign, for years, it had mе blind
Think I had to hit rewind and think about why I do shine
…
My whole family cursed, now get the f**k out my ride
…
Nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin', nothin'
…
If a killer say shit, then get these m***********s
...
Get the f**k out” - Buzzcut Feat. Danny Brown - Brockhampton -

"You lie in the graveyard
Well you're rotting away
When I talk to you daily
You've got nothing to say
You lie in the graveyard
Well you are down making plans
Well you control all my thoughts
Well you make dust fall"
- Graveyard , Butthole Surfers -

Customer Reviews
Wonderfully weird sci-fi reviews
Sean McTiernan’s new project SFUltra is a treasure trove of weird, alternative sci-fi reads, filtered through the host’s always insightful-yet-irreverent commentary. Can’t recommend enough for anyone interested in transgressive/experimental sci-fi (or literature in general), this show has hugely broadened my conception of the genre.
[SFULTRA] The beast at his best
Sean McTiernan, the rambling man himself, finally gives himself permission to get excited about science fiction. That happens; it's fun.
