WHEN THE WORLD FALLS APART AND YOUR BODY STARTS TO ROT, LET THE ROACHES LEAD.
Meet Ernie. His life is a mess. Gretchen's gone, and the apartment they once shared in this grey, grim city is now overrun with intelligent mold and sinister bugs.
Then his neighbor Dee shows up, so smart and lovely. If he can just get past the fact that her jealous boyfriend could reach out of her blouse and punch him in the face at any moment, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
Unfortunately for all involved, a Great Storm is coming and it will wash away everything we've ever known about the human heart.
"I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU is like Cronenberg's THE FLY if it had been directed by Frank Zappa and Bruce Bickford. Nightmarishly rich in vision, absurdly and painfully hilarious, sorrowfully poignant, and bristling with outrageous surprises that never ever ever stop coming till it's done." - John Skipp, from his introduction
I Will Rot Without You eBook Danger Slater
What can I say about Slater’s I Will Rot Without You? To be honest, I could talk about the book all day- and I’m fairly certain I have. It was the first book of its kind I’ve ever made it more than a few pages into- and by “its kind” I don’t exactly mean it’s double genre classification of “bizarro” or “horror”. Let’s be clear, though. Danger’s book is strange—it’s also horrifying, gross, and heartfelt. The protagonist is a broken man who can’t seem to pull out of his spiral into madness and self-pity in the wake of the end of a toxic relationship- but the mold in his sink and the cockroaches climbing his walls and scurrying across his counters aren’t just a side effect of his apathetic approach to cleanliness brought on by the depressive stupor that claims his every waking moment…. They’re so much more.Dangers story is vulgar with a purpose. Featuring body horror at the center of a host of other disturbing images and actions, Danger Slater’s work brings the internal ugliness of bad relationships to the external world—where they can’t be overlooked.
As for the matter of prose: Danger’s use of language is seductive and alluring, even when he’s writing about the most mundane of things. If it weren’t for his skill with words, I’d never have made it past the first roach squashing, but Danger tempers his gore with a vibrance you can’t just pry your eyes away from.
I would suggest this book to anyone with a strong stomach, and I’d lend my own copy to those with weaker stomachs who wanted to try it out. If you’re ready to feel uncomfortable in your own skin, then Danger Slaters I Will Rot Without You should be on your reading list.

I Will Rot Without You eBook Danger Slater Reviews
This book is a great example of what a Bizarro story can be. All the great elements of what roughly defines Bizarro can be found in I Will Rot Without You. Besides Carlton Mellick, Danger Slater is probably the best writer I have discovered that can handle this genre with complete command and make it look easy. Anyone interested in giving this weird fiction style a chance would do well to start with this book. Slater takes the common themes of pain, regret, and loneliness of life after a difficult breakup and thrusts the reader into a wildly imaginative story involving some very memorable characters and loads of nasty, sticky scenes of bugs and bodily fluid. One of the best Bizarro books of the year and easily one of the best writers in this field. The only glaring issue I had were a number of typos that should have been caught before publication. Hopefully Slater's next book will get a few more reads from pre-readers and editors before going to press.
Ernie's girlfriend left him and now he's literally falling apart in increasingly gruesome ways. His inability to let go and move forward with his life is at the core of this story. Heartbreak...feeling lost...these are things that most people can relate to. It's this relatability mixed with the bizarre visuals, dark humor, and beautiful word choices that make this tale unique and endearing.
Some things I love about I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU...
1. Body Horror This is my favorite subgenre in fiction! Ernie's body is decaying in absolutely terrifying ways. The descriptions are revolting and the fairly relaxed way the characters handle it is amusing. And then there's his neighbor, Dee, whose boyfriend is amputating parts of his own body and sewing them onto hers!
2. Language The author has a talent for description and you can tell that every word is carefully and lovingly chosen. Some of my favorite lines
"I reach over and take a sip, the techno-flavors of industrial runoff dance on my taste buds like teenagers in love."
"Adrenaline fills my blood with exhaust as it rockets through my veins."
"The fear is written in cursive upon his unkempt eyebrows."
3. The Filth The roaches. The mold. The garbage. The stench. Ernie's world is disgusting and I love it.
5. Cockroaches and Fungus Some of the scenes with the army of roaches and the quivering bathroom mold were so vivid and weird, I could easily see them in a stop-motion short film.
4. Corpse Marionette CORPSE MARIONETTE! If those two words don't sell you on this, I give up.
So my advice is to curl up on your slutty couch and dig into a copy of I WILL ROT WITHOUT YOU!
Do we rot without each other? Does love lost cause us to lose our body parts and surrender to the fungus that is the ennui of ordinary life? Well, this is what happens to Ernie Cotard. After breaking up with his girlfriend, Ernie is plagued with unusual problems. His apartment is overrun by cockroaches. His bathroom sink births the mother of all fungi. His fingers turn green and foul-smelling while his face erodes. Ernie is not the only one with problems. His neighbor Deedeedeedeedeedeedeedeedeedee has pieces of her jealous boyfriend attached to her body. Mr. Humboldt, the elderly man down the hall, keeps the corpse of his long-dead wife sitting at the dinner table. Is there is a surplus of zany metaphors on the loose here? I will answer that with a firm "no." The imagination, wit and solid poetry contained within these pages are endlessly entertaining. The author skillfully illustrates love's after-effects and how they make us feel as if the world is deteriorating around us. And on us ... maybe keep an eye on your skullcap, unless it has already fallen out. But, as my favorite character and born-again cockroach points out WE SURVIVE! If the cockroaches can rise again, so can the lovelorn.
