Infected
by Scott Sigler
✨3.5
”With a sudden start of horror, he saw bomb-run droplets of blood on his underwear. Pulling the waistband out, he looked down. A sigh of relief— no blood on his testicles.”
This story begins with a grizzly murder and then followed by two cops raiding a house in the suburbs. As the story progresses, Triangles are appearing on people, one of which is Perry Dawsey. As Perry becomes infected, the government is scrambling to get a live infected person. During this search, Perry is trying to make sense of the Triangles appearing on his body and the new voice in his head.
One of the saving grace in this book was the vividness of the gore. The scenes of Perry tearing out the Triangles from his body were so vivid that I was cringing in pain while reading. The best part, for me, in this novel, was the gore. It was so immersive and detailed.
The downside of this novel was the reveal of the Triangles. The Triangle hatching was horrifying. However, the description of these Triangles wasn't. It was downright comical in the story reminding one of the creatures from Dreamcatcher. Removing the Triangles from their host was a terrible decision. It would have been horrifying if the Triangles had grown eyes instead of ”hatching” from their hosts.
Overall, the gore is amazing and I can’t wait to read the next book.
