3.0

This book was well written, but just not for me. I was expecting sci-fi horror and this is definitely more cosmic/psychological horror that leans heavily into the claustrophobic atmosphere. I loved The Troop and this is quite a different story with the same quality of writing. Lots of great descriptions of gory and uncomfortable things, if that's your cup of tea! Would not recommend this book to those particularly sensitive to animal cruelty.
