After seeing mixed reviews I wasn't sure how this book would go. I am very glad that it exceeded my expectations. This is legitimately one of the best books I've read, at least in the horror genre. I enjoyed it immensely- while being appropriately disturbed at points. There were familiar tropes but with twists that made it still interesting. The characters were complex. Super impressed with this book.
Graphic: Body horror, Racism, and Xenophobia
Moderate: Incest and Sexual assault
