A truly disgusting read. I would have finished this sooner, but I kept getting itchy reading it. Fantastically written, but a tough read if

you're bothered by parasites/bugs.

This is the first horror book I've read in a while that I just cannot wait to read again.  Can't wait for the movie to suck.

Brutal animal testing, cruelty, and death including insects, a sea turtle, a chimpanzee, a cat, and others I cannot directly recall

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