Disturbing, dissociative, empty.

This was my first step into horror literature, and it was a phenomenal introduction. A grotesque exploration of dehumanization, factory farming, capitalism, and - above all - the power of words. I cannot say I would recommend this book to just anyone, but if you are interested in exploring horror, I think this is an excellent place to begin.
