Holy Body Horror tho! The creature and mutation sequences are excellent. I think I honestly wanted more monsters than I got, but I am not sad about the abundance of body horror description.
I do want to warn people that the hinge romantic edge of this story includes an abuser. This book is targeting messy emotions so I get why this is included but anyone looking for the romance may be appalled by this.

This book had a lot of things that would be described as extremely gruesome, graphic and horrifying. The protagonist has a terminal disease in which he is turning into a monster, and he routinely vomits up black sludge and parts of his internal organs. He has violent impulses and thoughts that become more and more intense as the story goes on. The cult is also pretty horrible and sacrifices children and cuts them in a ritual way, and uses scarification to put wings into their back. There is also strangulation scenes and scenes where skin and muscle sloughs off the protagonist's body.cdelligatti13's review against another edition

this is a book that heeds a general body horror warning for its entire length, but please be cautious if you're particular about teeth (as I am).lil_goblin's review against another edition
