So many thoughts about the portrayal of religion in Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh. How the servants in the castle practice vegetarianism and don't believe in jesus, the connection between literacy and the perfection of the bible stories of the upper class religion, and the pagan pain-filled practices of the citizens of Lapvona, all encased in the umbrella of 'Christianity' somehow.

Now i wish i had someone to discuss this book with

me going on the lapvona tag expecting gore, analysis and quotes from the book only to be met with 'coquette' girls and people attached just to the aesthetics of books of moshfegh

I risk sounding like an edge lord here, but I think book reviewers need to preface that they are either new to horror or not a fan of horror because Lapvona wasn't nearly as disturbing to me as people made it out to be. I'm not going to sit here and say "pfft that wasn't disturbing at all" because it has its moments. But I've clung to my stomach more times reading Flowers in the Attic than I did this book, and I was recommended FITA when I was a 13.

I don't know, man maybe I'm too desensitized now

“She had indeed seen death and she was not afraid of it. What scared her were other people and their immovable selfishness.”

Okay,,, so I finished Lapvona today and I really don’t understand why a lot of people hated it. It’s actually a very good book (I do recommend).

Perhaps hell is a tiny place, a single flame... The thought moved him, and he imagined the pureness of the flame as he gazed through the darkness at the candelabra. Just one flame could contain all the evil that has come and gone. What if it were that easy to snuff it out? Would he do it?
