The Devourers by Indra Das

Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

I'm so disappointed in myself for not even finishing a book that's been on my tbr for probably half a decade minimum, however I could not force myself through a single page. Partly this is because the formatting on my ebook was slightly broken so the margins were HUGE, but also because it felt like I read 5 pages for every page. I was super interested in the narrative (though much more in the framing device than the story at its core) but the pace was excruciating to the point where it became a chore to read. I started three other books in the process of reading half of this and it isn't even long. Indra Das does not know how to describe setting or horror without invoking piss and shit. There is more piss and shit in this book than there has been in my 26 years of life.
