Wow. Dark, painful and intense. A venture into the depravity that lies just under the surface of humanity, and can be drawn out when there's the temptation of getting away with it. Only slight downside is the sheer number of names that are used for repeating characters. Absolutely LOVED this read.

Edit: 5 stars. Whenever anyone asks me to recommend a book I mention this. It's only fair to give it 5 stars.

A brutal tale told through “interviews” with a “reporter”, a creative choice that made each chapter a little mystery. Many unreliable narrators & their shifting perspectives kept me invested & intrigued the whole read. The gore is definitely present, but not overdone or used for cheap shock value.
