A satirical survival horror-thriller written by Chuck Tingle of all people is not something I expected to be my fourth read of 2024 and for it to be this good (????!) is something that I didn't expect at all. Straight deals with a lot of heavy topics and does it really well, it's quite scary to think of such a prospect irl. The slasher parts were super good and got me on the edge of my seat. Overall am I happy that I stumbled upon the name of this book on a youtube video's comments, damn right I am. Go pick this up rn folks (if you can handle the satire, woke parts with your horror). Added bonus that the cast is super diverse!
