Worst piece of prose I have ever seen. Ever.

This is worse than the chicken that was not a chicken. Worse than the venom cock (heyo!). Worse than Laurell K. Hamilton's endless descriptions of Merry Gentry's hair (which I actually kind of like. Shut up).

And I quote:
"Her teeth were her only bracelet; she carried them within the red velvet purse of her lips. Her tongue was amber. Her tongue was a ferret, an anenome, a fox caught in the teeth of a tiger."

It goes on like this for two pages.

Her toes are snails, people! Snails with shells made of tears!

Honestly. I'd like to know who started that whole "silky pubic hair" cliché, because it's so readily observably not TRUE.

The only body hair I've encountered that was even remotely soft was on arms, but of course the silky-pubesed type of heroine tends not to HAVE hair on her arms, even if Nair was never invented in her universe...
