Maybe the first review (for #6) came across as negative, I&#8217;m not sure. I meant it as more &#8220;eh&#8221; than negative, but getting these has really impressed me. This one has a rambling story about a man losing his job and smoking pot and a bunch of smaller pieces. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I liked the first story, it just didn&#8217;t go anywhere. He discontinued it after the next issue anyway, so he knew that it wasn&#8217;t going anywhere too. The shorter pieces are great. The Weird Real Dreams segments are almost always great (and at least always interesting), as are the American Encounters. I&#8217;d love to hear how he got his book into Tower Records. I like it, don&#8217;t get me wrong, but that&#8217;s a hell of a lot of exposure and I wonder who happened across his book. Overall a good read, and it&#8217;s starting to look like I was right about his earlier books being more together than #6.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/attempted3-1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"423\" height=\"611\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Attempted Not Known #3 Peter was kind enough to send me some of his other issues so I could get a better view of what he was all about.
