dark sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

It’s a must-read for extreme horror/splatterpunk fans. It’s gross, gory, and tense throughout.
