siba's review against another edition

DNF-ed about half-way through. I might decide to pick up this book again, because I think my timing with reading this was wrong. As of right now I don't feel like there's anything pushing me to continue reading.

This is a very gory book that probably isn't for everyone. I really enjoyed it because I tend to like more extreme horror. It's very well-written and incredibly disturbing. There are a lot of content warnings.
