Perhaps I've read too many manhwas and mangas with far more shock value than this, but somehow it made me feel increasingly dirty than creeped out. Major content warnings are provided by the author at the outset. Will be tagging them here as well.

This was truly one demented, excessively gory and odious, yet unique book. I don't think I'll ever be able to read this book again. I really enjoyed it, i think. 😅 I like to think i have a pretty strong stomach. I've seen many a thing in my life, but NEVER before has a book made me so nauseated that I physically turned the book from my face and looked away from it to process and not vomit on my book and bed 🤢... but just like true horror, it drew me back in. 

This was a "read at your own pace" buddy read, with three IG friends. We shall see what they think as well!!

Just don’t read this. It’s pure garbage. It’s an insult to the genre to call this horror.
