I... there aren't enough words in any language to properly convey the absolute roller coaster I was taken on. I just... What the actual fuck? What the actual holy fuck, holy fucking fuck God in heaven? 

I need... I'm gonna write another substack, an addendum to Filthiness is Next to Godliness.

This book has the most disturbing imagery I’ve ever read. A really interesting story, one that does make you think despite the graphic content. But I DO NOT recommend reading, and if you do PLEASE check trigger warnings, cause this one gets dark.
