However, what this actually ended up being was a gross lord of the flies retelling with more animal abuse and more sociopathic boys. Not sure what the takeaway was supposed to be with this story....
I just wished for more story, more character motivation, less gore and pointless gross.

I have read a lot of horror in my time but this was the first time I had to skip pages in a book because it was too much for me.
Heed the content warnings.

An amazing horror book. I can’t wait to read more from Nick Cutter. READ ALL TRIGGER WARNINGS AND DO NOT TAKE THEM LIGHTLY.
