This is a gory, horror masterpiece! This is a new favorite book for me, and possibly my favorite horror book of all. It’s disgusting and beautiful at the same time. Explores the horrors of the patriarchy and how women, especially older women, are treated. And it’s written by a man. Like, what? Heavy trigger warnings, so check those before reading.
