Some of the stories had endings that felt a little unfinished to me, but this was a thought-provoking and intriguing read, if a little disturbing at times, diving into topics like cannibalism and appreciating smells of things normally considered revolting. Prepare to be challenged on what you've accepted as "normal."
Moderate: Body horror and Cannibalism
Minor: Excrement, Animal death, Vomit, Death, Stalking, Incest, and Blood
