Feels like the best parts of Annihilation wrapped in cozy, literary post apocalyptia. Very strange, very fucked up, very good.

Weird. Sick. Liked it. 

I have to give this one 4. It's the first book in a long time that scared me with its uncomfortable, gross, and disgusting content.

REVIEW: ~74 pages (ebook). Weird and a bit icky. More horror/fantasy than science fiction.
RATING: Almost unrateable, due to weirdness. If forced: a bit below 2 mushrooms.

Eloquent, strange and thought-provoking. Some of the most beautiful use of language I've encountered. I'll be thinking about this story for a long long time.
