The first chapter is fairly representative of the kind of "gory splattercore" (as it says in the ending acknowledgements) that this book has.

williamgideon's review against another edition

It's very rare for me to dnf a book, but I didn't like this at all. It was really dull and dreary without much of a solid plot going on. There were way too many characters and perspectives for such a short book imo. But the worst part is the writing style. Sorry but every time I had to read the words "the older woman" instwad of the character's name I rolled my eyes. How am I suppossed to know who's older? It was so hard to keep track of everyone in this book and it just got exhausting.

WOWIE. If you can stomach this book, I cannot recommend it enough. I regularly read thrillers, and I had to put this down multiple times because it was so gory. HOWEVER, the social commentary and discussion of queerness, aesthetics, and identity were phenomenal. It’s just shy of 5 ⭐️S only because we bounced so much from plot line to plot line that I had a hard time keeping track once we got to the climax. So good!

This is a hard book to review so take mine with all the salt grains. It’s horror and I don’t typically do that. It’s gory. It’s pithy. It’s snarky. It’s in your face. I love the one liners and I love the TERF tell offs. But the world created just makes me all sorts of sad and depressed. It was too much for me! But maybe that’s what makes it amazing? I think if you like really really dark horror that is very unique and different from anything you’ve read before and you support trans people, you will love this book.
