Hmm…where to start? I’ll say, I think the cover was gorgeous and tricked me into thinking this was going to have some real meat (ba dum tch) to it. Foolish of me. I did give it a single star instead of zero bc it was so fast to read, and I kept hoping it would get better.

Yes, there’s gore. Yes, there’s sex. Yes, there are shocking things! Was any of it done well? No. 

There was no attempt at atmosphere and there were no vibes, so this didn’t even tip the scales of making me squeamish, or horrified. The main character sounds like he’s a little boy half the time. Even as satire, this just doesn’t have a lot to it. Where is the commentary? This is not a horror so much as an edgy comedy. 

The prose was childish and some stylistic choices were annoying. Another reviewer summed it up perfectly:

This book is basically a teen edgelord trying to be edgy and shocking while broaching philosophical topics…The problem is the philosophy addressed is about as deep as a can of tuna…

If you want to read something for shock value’s sake with baby’s first examination of being a social outcast, fine. You do you. Check those trigger warnings and then check it out. But there’s not a whole lot going on here beyond a teenager’s edgy splatterpunk attempt at being deep. Go girl, give us nothing.

Even though I enjoyed the dark humour in this book, it goes in some very dark directions. I went into this book pretty blind as I’ve heard both good and negative stuff. Think my facial expressions went from LOL to disgust within 2 seconds every minute !  I’m so glad I’ve been listening to this on headphones! Definitely not one to listen to on loud speaker unless you are on your own 🎧 
Be aware of the triggers in this book before you read including Necrophilia which isn’t listed n content warnings.
