"Storytelling is an art form, and it belongs to no one." 

Essentially You've Lost a Lot of Blood is a story within a story. The reader follows Martyr Black and Ambrose as Martyr tells his narrative in the form of transcripts, poems, and stories. I know that doesn't really describe the plot, but there isn't much of a synopsis on the book itself and this was one of those books that you go into blind. 

I had absolutely no idea what to expect going into this one. I was confused and surprised as there was a lot going on and it felt a little disjointed, but I found myself enjoying it. I was really invested in the story within, but I also liked the poems and transcripts. It was violent, shocking, and gripping with beautiful prose. 

I don't know what more to say as I read it almost two months ago 😅 It felt different so I think it should be experienced for yourself. This was definitely an imaginative, unique novella!
