**Thank you so much to Lesley Camphouse for providing me with an ARC of Ingest Me in return for my honest opinion.  Expected pub date April 5th, 2025.**

Can someone please pass me a Tums? I have the “I’ve been trying not to vomit the whole time reading this” stomach. 

My Splatterpunk and Extreme Horror peeps- you’re in for a treat! Well, a nasty treat anyways. 

The first 40% of the book is absolutely nauseating (and believable). Think big brother feeding disgusting things to his baby sister. Then we get into the brother experimenting with things he shouldn’t, which leads to toxic masculinity. I don’t want to say much more because you really need to experience your emotions in this novella. 

What I can say is, check your triggers- there are a variety of them in this book. This book is vile. I’m absolutely fatigued from reading it. The writing and story are solid- I’m appalled (in a good way?). Bravo Lesley- this books is NUTS.
