This is a hard book to rate or review because I can’t say I enjoyed this book by any means but it’s not the sort of book you’re meant to enjoy (if someone told me they enjoyed this book I think I’d back away slowly and then run as far away as I could) it’s definitely a gruesome book that’s not for the feint of heart and I would not take trigger warnings lightly for this book it’s brutal honestly.

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

I don’t even know what to say about this book. Someone recommended it as a super disturbing book and I thought why not. Was it disturbing? Yes. Did it make me not want to read it? No. Honestly I’ve read worse, but I really enjoyed how the parallels came into fruition. Major trigger warnings though for anyone reading this.

Hooooo boy is this one a ride. Very graphic, disturbing, but unlike some other horror novellas that I've read recently, the plot and point of this one was actually interesting and kept me wanting to read and find out what the fuck was going on. Lots of trigger warnings (I always make sure to add those). But this was actually an interesting read for a gore story.
