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.

Don't get why this book was so hyped 🤷🏻‍♀️ There was no plot. The only goal was to be gross, so I guess Duncan achieved what he had set out to do, but like it just gave me nothing. Also there's a lot of typos?

That was some weird shit. A little predictable if I’m being honest. Although I didn’t guess the big twist at the end. Weird. And gross.
