I was bored out of my mind that i kept lacking off while reading it not gonna lie. I started it because I heard about how disturbing, disgusting, shocking, and culty this book is. Well guess what is IS NOT. The horror of this book are the characters and how awful they are while constantly thinking they are the best. 90% of the book is a boring ass journey that gets you angrier as it goes because of entitled and awful the main characters are then you get like 10% of all the other adjectives: gore, disgusting and culty. The one star and half is for the riverman cause honestly that is the only character I want to read about. Either I have the worst luck with horror books or writers need to seriously start giving dark folklores a chance. Overall boring as fuck!
