I really enjoyed this book! The writing was really beautiful and descriptive, which i find to be quite rare for splatterpunk/extreme horror so it was a nice surprise to find!
I knew i was getting into a disturbing story before picking this up, so i wasn’t shocked to find this really goes deep into some of the worst acts humans can do. Murder, r*pe, inc*st, this book was filled with human depravity and some of the scenes really turned my stomach.
Please check trigger warnings if you want to read this book, but if you aren’t easily offended, i definitely recommend this! It’s one of the best splatterpunks i’ve ever read!
