Unfortunately didn’t land for me. The writing style never captured me and felt a bit all over the place. Characters felt flat, the point felt obvious but belabored. The language and descriptions didn’t really add to the story or give character perspective (at least until a reveal at the end) that still didn’t give enough premise to really set the horror of anything. And maybe personally, severing an arm, eating guts, lots (lots) of throw up does not really do enough to set the tone for me.
