Extremely well written, and terrifying to the core. One of the few books that has completely and utterly unsettled me.

Book isn't for the faint hearted. EXTRMELY GRAPHIC 
Animal torture is prevalent.  
EXTRMELY long and drawn out. Very, very, very wordy.

I read this book thinking it would be scary-horror not gross body-horror. It starts out promising but quickly devolves into some Cronenberg level grossness and doesn’t stop until the end. It’s well written, but you need to know what you’re getting into. It’s not for me but some of you terrific freaks will love it.

This is one of the most depressing books I’ve ever read. So devastating, but goodness, it was good.
