This book is not for everyone. Please check trigger warnings before reading. It's brutal and harsh, written in a style I admittedly don't seek out (LONG sentences, no paragraph breaks). But it forces you through the darkness of a small town and the people in it at a rapid and relentless pace and left me squirming at the end. If you like dark books in October, this would be one.
