Yeah this was really, really good! Grady Hendrix has an incredible talent for describing really mundane things in the grossest, most unnerving way possible. Not really what I expected but it’s best to just let yourself get lost in this absurd world where anything goes, a world that is sometimes quite funny, sometimes heavily emotional, sometimes very touching. The humor might not be for everyone but it definitely worked on me, and the ending was certified Good Stuff.

The beginning of this book felt more like literary fiction discussing family and grief. It is near half way that the horror aspect kicks in. 
This book certainly made me happy im an only child and that my family is open about death.
