I did not have a good time reading this. A lot of gross body horror involved. And it didn’t seem to have a meaning or perspective at the end the way other Ito books have had. The Fault short story is going to sit with me though—I knew it would but hearing it and reading it with my own eyes are two separate things. The principle post made me snicker because… what??? Also why did every family member immediately crawl into the space???
