I expected zombies and cannibalism but I was wrong! Something a bit more nefarious and terrible and intentional. Lots of body horror. Fun to read but there was a decent amount of exposition which I think took away from the suspense of present day happenings in the story. The book FELT tense and gory but that exposition made it lose traction for me.
