I hate-read the second half of this book.
The first half gripped me. It teased with an otherworldly “City” from another realm, like in a Clive Barker book. There was also the “chase” by an antagonist straight up from “Exquisite Corpse”. But then, the author gave up on making a coherent story and just wrote straight up torture porn and “perversions” for pure shock value. It all loses impact really fast.
