The secrets I locked down in the cellar of my gut have crawled away to expose their horrors into the light.
The book does a fantastic job of describing the horrifying nature of intrusive thoughts, and how sometimes, when they're left unsupervised within a mind that was not made to harbor them nor deal with them correctly, it can lead to a very disturbing and grotesque reality. The way many thoughts and feelings are described are in such a way that I felt so genuinely understood; the way it touches on such a shunned upon mindset and experience of the disturbing and extreme was comforting, in a gross fucked up kind of way.
However, the book itself is not at all what I wanted from it. I started it with hopes and dreams of reading something so utterly disgusting and revolting, based simply on the experience of others in the reveiws, and yet I came out of it... unsatisfied. If you get grossed out easily, or at the very least easier than I do, and want a quick read of something unsettling, then I'm sure this book is perfect for you. But for someone who maybe fails to get that feeling of disgust from any form of fictional media that you may get in a real-life situation, this book may have very little effect on you like it has with me.
Over all, I believe it's a very good read and was most definitely worth the time and money I spent on it.

So normally I don’t really love the
I can’t recommend this to anyone. It was literally nauseating. But it felt authentic and real and rough.
