Epidermolysis Bullosa Narcissus

Yes, in case anybody is wondering, that’s a real condition, and you can Google it if you want the technical definition. Or you could order that book from that e-mail provided, but I’m not supposed to tell you to buy this book until later in the review. Must follow the reviewer code, don’t you know. Anyway, this is the angry screed of Charles to the world, in which he describes his lifelong medical condition to the world. To boil it down, because his dumbed down description is the best: his skin is essentially just like the skin that forms on gravy if you let it sit out too long. It’s that sensitive, meaning that he can’t do all sorts of things, has constant blisters and sores from where anything has touched him, and essentially lives his life in constant pain, with no potential for a cure and very little hope for anything but a life of amputations and more pain. This is an especially wordy book, as Charles has a lot of ground to cover and only 16 pages to do it, but it’s amazing how impressive the artwork is considering he draws his hands and, in case you can’t see them clearly from the cover, they’re essentially clubs from his condition. He has a few other books listed and I’d love to see them after reading this; there’s a serious brain at work here and I’d love to see what else he has to say. This is only $1, well worth hunting down.
