On a September night in 1971, a few days after getting busted for dropping acid, a sixteen-year-old curls up in the corner of her ratty bedroom and begins to write.
Now the truth can finally be revealed about the mysterious day long ago when the authorities found a child, calmly walking in the boiling desert, covered with blood.
The girl is Roberta Rohbeson, and her rant against a world bounded by the cruddy top bedroom of a cruddy rental house on a very cruddy mud road soon becomes a detailed account of another story, one that she has kept silent since she was eleven.
Darkly funny and resonant with humanity, Cruddy, masterfully intertwines Roberta's stories -- part Easy Rider and part bipolar Wizard of Oz. These stories, the backbone of Roberta's short life, include a one-way trip across America fueled by revenge and greed and a vivid cast of characters, starring Roberta's dangerous father, the owners of the Knocking Hammer Bar-cum-slaughterhouse, and runaway adolescents. With a teenager's eye for freakish detail and a nervous ability to make the most horrible scenes seem hilarious, Cruddy is a stunning achievement

Super Soft, Cool & Beautiful!
Color: Green, Size: King (102" X 90")
This blanket is amazing! Its so soft and cool to the touch. It makes you want to skip the flat sheet and sleep with the blanket alone. The green color is gorgeous! I've spent a lot of $ on expensive bamboo quilts this blanket is far better than any of those.

reviewing 2 years later, still in love with this blanket!
Color: Grey, Size: Queen (88" X 88")
i've had this blanket for almost two years - i bought it july 5th, 2024. i should have wrote this review much sooner, there hasn't been a single day in the past almost two years of owning this blanket that i have regretted getting it, it is an absolute must have for hot sleepers. it isn't constantly cold, but it is cold to the touch and you'll feel how cold it is as you move around. it mainly helps regulate your body temperature throughout the night. i've washed and dried this blanket so many times (with cold water and low heat as directed) and it still maintains the cooling effect the same as the first day i got it, it also hasn't torn or ripped anywhere. whenever i travel i always miss this blanket and i am so happy when i come back home because i have my blanket again, it makes a huge difference for my quality of sleep. i'm genuinely considering only packing this blanket and nothing else the next time i travel. also, despite helping me stay cool throughout the night, it's very comfortable and has a nice thickness and weight to it, so i don't feel like i have to sleep with a paper thin sheet for the same effect. what i like to do during winter (and i'm talking actual winter, like wind chill in the negatives) is add a thicker blanket on top to get some extra layering, but still have the cooling effect. 1000/10 i absolutely recommend this blanket if you're a hot sleeper and honestly this company in general, bedsure makes some really good stuff! this was a really good investment for me, yes it's an expensive blanket but it pays off for sure. as a goth person i do wish they had some darker colors for this blanket, ideally black, but when this blanket has helped me this much with my sleep? i took the loss in that aspect, and if the color was the only loss i think that says a lot! thank you bedsure for helping me get good sleep :)

Magic!
Color: Grey, Size: King (102" X 90")
This comforter is super soft. Almost silky feeling. Very easy to wash and dry. It does as advertised. It keeps me super cool. I love it so much that I bought a second one for my camp. It is so cool to the touch. The fit is true to size. It's not thick but not too thin either.
