Ralston's writing is sharp and unflinching, making the reader confront uncomfortable truths and disturbing scenarios. The narrative structure is unique, interweaving past and present seamlessly, and each story within the story adds a new layer of complexity and horror. The characters are well-developed and their psychological depth adds to the novel's intensity.

While "Woom" is not for the faint of heart due to its graphic content and disturbing themes, it is a compelling read for fans of dark fiction. Ralston's ability to evoke a visceral reaction is impressive, making this book a memorable, albeit unsettling, experience. A solid four-star read for those who appreciate horror that pushes boundaries and challenges the psyche.
