Tender is the Flesh gripped me from the first page to the last word. I honestly don't know if the last line of a book has ever stayed with me in such a way and the book as whole has changed my brain chemistry.
My stomach was turned, my sense of humanity questioned, I couldn't put it down and read it in a day. A powerful, terrifying 5 stars.
