Violent Faculties by Charlene Elsby

4.75

half academic thesis, half extreme horror, this book is vile, dense, and terrifyingly inhuman in all the best ways. i found myself cringing at multiple points, which is tough to do at this point in my extreme horror journey. elsby's way of presenting this novel as an academic text was striking and while it may not be for everyone, especially those swayed by heavy, purple prose, i was definitely the target audience and wasn't disappointed.
