This was just… gross? And not in a particularly creepy way, honestly. I just didn’t enjoy this book as much as I’ve enjoyed other extreme horror, I guess? It’s well-written, and I’m sure it’s for somebody, but it’s just not for me.

Disturbingly dark. Not at all what I expected — but heinous nonetheless. This nontraditional tale of horror will definitely fuck up your brain.

Perhaps I've read too many manhwas and mangas with far more shock value than this, but somehow it made me feel increasingly dirty than creeped out. Major content warnings are provided by the author at the outset. Will be tagging them here as well.

I had to go back and add another star after simmering with this book for a little bit! I couldn’t put this book down. I was so intrigued and disturbed and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t wait to recommend this to everyone!
