Horror and gore has never been described in such a beautiful way before. 

This is a short read, but a really good one! The prose is amazing, a tapestry of words and sentences painting a hauntingly, beautiful bloody and gory love story. Some sentences felt a bit too wordy at times, but I am nitpicking!
