I...um...I, uh, I read this book.
First and foremost: trigger warnings. All of them. You name it, it's probably in here.
It is the darkest, cruelest, most graphically violent story I've ever finished. The fact that I finished it - shit I couldn't put it down - is, in my eyes, proof that this author is incredible.
The writing, the voice and the pacing are incredible; the story is unapologetically depraved and that somehow gives the reader just enough distance to avoid feeling complicit in the MC's journey of mayhem.
This book is so fucked up I'm concerned that people will judge me for having completed it. Please don't judge me. And if you're in the mood for a splatter-punk meets sociopathic acts of cruelty, you'll almost certainly enjoy this book.
