WILD. 100% wild. Been dipping my toe into horror and this felt like a deep end dive.

I am convinced I read a different book than the masses because this wasn’t scary? I will admit that I have a degree in science and, living in the US, know that the government would do the type of shit that this government did, BUT I wasn’t in the least bit impressed with this book? I think the scariest part was that the worm was behind the kids eye…. I just…. I read the Deep, I remember it vividly and I can’t help but be disappointed here.

"How could you hide from a murderer who lives under your skin?"
I have been on a search for a horror novel that shook me to my core. I have been seeing this book so much I had to give it a read. I wouldn't say this was horror but it definitely made me uneasy. I never thought I would feel sympathy for a spider the way I did. Fair warning this book does have very graphic scenes of animal abuse/torture. BTW f**k Shelly! Deadly diseases have always been my biggest fear and this book just proved to me why. I did get some small Stephen King vibes especially with the banter of the characters in the beginning. Overall I felt it was a good read, fast paced, and full of gore. I was originally going to rate it 3 stars but as I was eating sushi I started thinking about this book, wondering what if I just consumed a worm and made myself sick so it definitely stuck with me!

This book is disturbing and disgusting, truly like a bad car wreck that you can't look away from. In the end it was something special and I read it faster than many other books. Couldn't put it down. First novel from Cutter that I've read but looking forward to reading more from him.

This tapped into one of my childhood fears that I won’t spoil here, but I was very excited when I realized the type of horror this was exploring. Really cool premise. I think the writing here could be better, but I think it’s a solid horror book.
Not for the faint of heart. This book was rough. Very gory and graphic. I almost stopped reading several times, but I needed to know how it ended.
