The plot does feel somewhat predictable even if you haven’t seen the film adaptation but admittedly the general premise is just… cool. The sort of subtle suggestion that there is a larger “lore” is also very tantalizing. The writing is detailed enough and focuses on what I would consider the more interesting parts of a gruesome and uncomfortable story.
Although, as not a big fan of sort of “erotic horror”, and the many possibilities that sub genre can lead to, there were some parts I liked less than other.

This is a fantastic introduction to his work, super fast read and plenty disturbing without delving into some of the other Really Nasty Stuff he writes about in his other works like Coldheart Canyon (also so good but YIKES!!!)
