4.5

Loved this book. for those who liked The Shape of Water, and The Thing with a dash of Scottish folk horror. The body horror is visceral and nasty all of the best parts about it. The author didn't pull any punches with it. 

On the other hand, it's a tale of grief and the fight to hold on to the precious past....no matter what it takes.
