Bazterrica has the ability to come up with some of the most disturbing and horrific ideas I have ever read and, somehow, write them in such a beautiful way. There were multiple times in this book that I almost threw up but there was not a single time where I wanted to stop reading or even put it down to stop reading for that moment.

I cannot recommend this enough, especially to people who like The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Simultaneously, if you are looking for another book with similar vibe as this, I recommend you read The Road by Cormac McCarthy.
