Damn, this extreme horror novel really is about love, huh.

I read through the first half or so kinda slowly, thought the writing was maybe a little clumsy and repetitive but not in a way that damaged the pacing, really. May Leitz definitely knows how to put a horror story together. Finished the second half in one sitting. The ending was fantastic. Need some time to process it now.

Extreme horror was a joke. More like two insufferable women not trying to escape
