This was the most disturbing, horrific novel I have ever read. It was like reading an A24 novel. Absolutely grotesque. Also some of the best, most unique writing and storytelling. Ottessa Moshfegh is a master of her craft, and I admire her ability to create such strong emotions with so little adjectives.
