For the love of all that's holy, what the f*** did I just read?! But in a good way... mostly.

Reeeeeeeeeeally could've done without all the animal abuse.

I'm going to have nightmares forever :(

The creepiest book I’ve read in a while. The description and imagery in this story was insane, definitely would NOT recommend reading if you’re a squeamish person. I can handle dark content and this one was freaking me out in parts. Great read overall!

xieflemms's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 60%

The graphic body horror and violence was just too much for me, especially when involving live animals.

Good book but absolutely retched! I went into it thinking it was more thriller but I feel like it’s more splatterpunk-ish which is my misunderstanding.
