Generally enjoyed this. There's just about every content warning you could imagine, but they weren't being painted as healthy or good things. It was dark, but not in a way that made me feel slimy. I think it's meant to be chilling, though. The writing was magnetic. Good sentence structure and word choices. Lots of dialogue, but not in an intolerably slow way
