Oh boy this book was definitely out of the ordinary. A gruesome look at a different reality that no one would want to imagine. The author looked at parts of this reality that I would’ve never thought of like religious beliefs surrounding the cannibalism. This is one of the only books I can truly say made me uncomfortable and interested me all at the same time. For sure worth the read if you’re okay with dark novels.
