Not often am I truly chilled by horror. This book truly delivers with its chilling descriptions and adventures into the limits of the human conditions. 
I am a marked fan of indigenous fiction… This book, again, clearly delivers.
Zombies always make my stomach churn, and cannibals written without the shock factor of our dear Hannibal are frankly more chilling than anyone knows.
