What happens when your father is murdered and then you wake up to Gregor Samsa in bug form asking to come into your home and then he eats up all your rations... And your mother...

This book was just WEIRD. I felt like it was a fever dream with the uneasiness of the movie Mother! and the mixture of an A24 film. Maybe some of the metamorphosis vibe if it was horror.

took a while for the story to really engage me. i loved the analogies but also felt like i could put the book down at any time and not think about it again 

I have loved every Eric Larocca I have read so far. However, this one just wasn't for me. I wish I could tell you why, but I just did not vibe with this one.

However, I love his writing and will continue to read everything that he writes.

i have to stop trying to read this author’s books already omg i dont like it when ppl use too much gross shit (literally lol) in horror stuff 

this was equal parts gross, captivating and absolutely bizarre. i loved the story this told, and i thought the way that fantastic elements came into the story was masterful. the characters were amazing too, i loved that there was only a small cast but the sense of horror was absolutely palpable from each of them. loved it.
