This remains one of my top 5 favourite books. The writing is so, so, SO GOOD! Equal parts beautiful and disgusting, with scenes that were still burned into my memory from my first read back in 2019. This book is just a horrifying and gorgeously written descent into madness, and I devoured (get it?) every word.
