Sister, Maiden, Monster by Lucy A. Snyder
4.0

Erin is concerned about the latest deadly pandemic exploding around the globe, when she becomes horribly sick herself. When she wakes from her coma, she finds out about the weird after effects of the disease, including a morbid new diet. The government is trying to control the outbreak by limiting people’s movement. But Erin feels compelled to seek out other infected, and covertly does. And then the mutations start, and things start to get viscerally nightmarish. Erin is just one of many in what will be the strange new future for the world.

Great googelly-moogelly! This is a very disturbing, eldritch-horror story of a pandemic apocalypse. It is very good, but is incredibly gory and grotesque and horrific. It tells the story from the point-of-view of three different women, and does a great job of overlapping and interweaving their stories. It also does a great job with details and reveals. But this is not a story for the faint of heart.
