dark funny

I don’t know about this one, campers. I love disturbing reads but this felt a little cartoonish at points. Maeve’s internal monologue had teen die-hard edgy vibes which were hard to take seriously. So the disturbing factor fell a little flat.

None of the characters were compelling for me. I felt like it relied on its similarities and allusions to Bataille and American Psycho too much, like it needed more room to develop its own unique character.

Overall I found it a little boring.

This book was an oddity that I couldn’t put down. What a peculiar and unpredictable read. I would put this book under the same category of Tender is the Flesh and Suture. Horror books that are one of a kind and stick with you.

This is not for the faint of heart. Completely unhinged and graphic, but couldn’t put it down!

Dark, gross, and very unhinged. This one made me so uncomfortable, and not in a good way. It reminded me of Terrifier and I really disliked watching Terrifier. It was kind of just gore porn. Not for me, but I can see how people like it. Very well written though.
