Normally I have no problems reading gory horror books, but this one got to me a lot. A religious cult has unleashed a plague on the world, using saving the environment from overpopulation as an excuse. Then, they create a monster to kill any humanity that survives, so that the believers will go to heaven and the earth will repopulate. The story is told from the monster's perspective, and they are trying to run away but it's difficult. Benji falls in with a local LGBTQ center that is barely holding on. They have their secrets too...

It's a powerful book. I can see why people say it reminds them of Pet, because I felt that too. It just was a lot of horror for me.
