Creepy, terrifying, gory, everything I like in a book! The second half is batshit insane, and the ending is a bit WTF? But I loved it. Surreal and spooky, and a short read.

The premise of the book was interesting, but in the end I don't know what I got out of this.  I won't say it's good or bad, because I can't decide.

There was a good deal of violence that left me feeling sick and uneasy, which is a lot because of how much I enjoy horror, etc.
