The body horror was cool, I guess. I don't know if it was an issue with the translation, I am missing some cultural context or if this book is just bad.
I get that the author was trying to weave these different narratives from multiple characters together into the central titular massacre, but it didn't really work. Half of these characters had no baring on the plot and on top of that they weren't interesting or likable. This book is short, but still half of it didn't matter.
Also the prose was very dry and lackluster.
This book tried way to hard to be literary, but would've worked better as a fun pulp horror.

Was so excited for this one. But it fell a little short for me. It felt like there was a bit too much going on at once, I feel maybe it would be better served as a short story or novella? Having said that I enjoyed it over all, had a very tender moment towards the end where I nearly cried. I could of read a whole book about dream cat

Reading this book was like stepping into a bizarre dream, but in a good way. It's both fascinating and a little unsettling. A must read for those who enjoy dark and unusual stories with a deeply human core. I'd give it a 4.5/5 stars.
