...I didn't like it at all. It's obviously made with great care, but I didn't find the tale to be scary - just extremely disturbing in a way that left me sick to my stomach. My personal enjoyment of this graphic novel was so nonexistent that I can't rate it any higher than two stars.

Besides, Shuichi had the right idea on page 14 of this 600+ page monstrosity. They should have left town the moment all that weird crap started happening, when they probably still could have. There was zero excuse for not getting the hell out after the thing with the kiln. Stay in a place like that, you deserve what you get.

I read this book in pretty much one sitting and it was absolutely wild. I looked into body horror books after loving a few other body horrors and this book kept coming up and it was incredible. This book is disturbing and gruesome and definitely not for the faint of heart but I loved ever second of it and didn’t want to put it down.

challenging dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced

3.75

spiraled out of control, spiraled into madness, as this developed it was only a downward spiral and other spiral jokes that i need to get out of my system

i love a wholesome sibling relationship even if

it ends with the brother becoming a snail which was probably the most devastating part of this story
