As morbid as it sounds, I love how gory the book is. No mass onslaught of rats, but a flesh-tearing mob was just as disturbing. Since this book is so music-centric, including a fictional album that's The Point of the book, I wonder when it will be made into a film, since Horrorstör and The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires are already in production. (Also, I enjoyed that all the chapter titles are names of classic rock albums, except for the Dolly Parton one.)
