Imagine if Nosferatu, Our Wives Under the Sea, and Frankenstein were in a really chaotic car crash.
It wins points for me because I did like the writing. But overall, I felt like the point of the story was lost on me. Is it a trans allegory? A commentary on human depravity?
I don’t mind weird fiction or body horror when I understand the point it’s making, but once again, I think I lost the plot on this one. And it’s HEAVY on the body horror.
