I don’t know what to say. There are no words. What the fuck...? I enjoyed this for what it was. I was definitely invested in this character’s stories and learning how they connect to him, even though I had a feeling early on that I understood. This is advertised as extreme horror, and I’d say it definitely delivered. This isn’t for someone who doesn’t like body horror nor is it for someone who has a weak stomach. Tread lightly, you may not understand what you’re getting yourself into.

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

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.

I literally cannot give it any more stars. I didn't hate it, but definitely didn't love it. Really fucky

Had a mix of humor and horror. I had to put the book down at one chapter, which was arguably worse than the others (aside from the ending). You definitely need a strong stomach for this one, but it wasn’t as horrific as I thought (still VERY horrific, though.)
