Are You Loathsome Tonight?

Are You Loathsome Tonight? (also titled Self-Made Man) is a collection of short stories by American author Poppy Z. Brite, published in 1998 by Gauntlet Press. The title is a play on the song Are You Lonesome Tonight?, made famous by Elvis Presley, and a reference to the inner groove etching of the 1986 single Ask by The Smiths.

gollark: I've made my website (static-site-generated), a really slow search engine thing, dice roller, automatic music player thing which just runs from a directory of metadata-tagged music files, a Discord bot for something, Meme Economy Autotrader, a moderately popular browser extension for automating some specific task in an online game, various random "experiments" on my website, a virus for computers in a Minecraft computer mod (and many, many other things for that), and probably other random stuff.
gollark: I do programming myself, but I really only make random projects either for personal use, mild evil, or fun. They're basically all released as open source.
gollark: Also working but very slowly, buggily, inefficiently, badly or whatever else.
gollark: In general, I mean, there's such a thing as technical debt.
gollark: It does matter.
