I'd heard that this book was messed up and I was rolling my eyes at that assertion for the majority of the book until it got to the end. This book is unimaginably gory, chilling, and emotionally shattering. What a compelling, deeply impressive, batshit crazy book. Content warning for domestic violence, incest, murder, sexual abuse, and cannibalism.
