It's not particularly compelling. Fine (ish) for a short story but it doesn't have enough to carry a novella. The maggot imagery was sickening (positive), but I think its greatest strength is in its publisher's marketing campaign and cover design.
Graphic: Animal death, Emotional abuse, Gore, Suicide, and Toxic relationship
