I really enjoyed this more than I expected. I went in thinking it would be more ‘vampirey’, if that makes sense, but i guess the Nosferatu mentions are more metaphorical than literal.
I found this really easy to get lost in, the story was interesting and the writing was really descriptive and painted a great picture of the world it takes place in.
There are a few trigger warnings i would look out for if you’re going to read this and are sensitive to certain topics.

The fatphobia. Wtf. The fat shaming was over the top and gross.
Also, I am not sure why many horror authors (namely cis het men) feel the need to include a heavy dose of sexual violence towards women, and graphically so.
The book overall wasn't necessarily scary, but it did make me feel uncomfortable and gross.
Other things I hated:
