I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was the type of book that I didn’t want to put down. If you are a fan of religious imagery, cult horror, and vague homoeroticism, this is the book for you.

Amputation is a main theme of this book. It is glorified and ritualistic.

Top 10 grossest book I've ever read in my life. It made me want to vomit and was so sick and twisted. But I found it incredibly interesting because of how messed up it was.

Many descriptions of amputation for religious purposes. People also removing prosthetics. Self amputation happens as well. Please be aware this is very graphic and meant to be disturbing

Way too horrific. I love a good scary story, but this was stomach-churning. Not for the faint of heart.

It’s Die Hard meets Jonestown. Poor Kline could not catch a break. 

Fun and brutal!
