Totally gruesome, but also really moving. A balance I think Andrew Joseph White strikes really well in all of his books. Despite the violent and gory nature of his stories, there's always a very human story at the heart of it and in Spirit, I found myself once again rooting for the characters to be okay.
Though a historical setting, I wouldn't say it's historically accurate in all aspects, so that's worth bearing in mind going in. I would also recommend checking triggers as there are quite a few graphic surgery scenes, but I was hooked (despite not being a horror girly) and couldn't wait for vengeance to be meted out.

The Spirit Bares Its Teeth is everything you want and expect in a horror, but definitely take the authors warnings before reading because this is very dark, gruesome and explicit and some people may not be able to read this. However if this is the book for you horror fans will love this, The representation in this book is amazing and I loved seeing all the different identities that are represented in these great characters.
Overall this is an amazing horror and although it won't be for everyone I think it will be a big hit.
