What the actual heck?!?
Incredibly disturbing and upsetting, but this book makes you think. Prose reminiscent of Vonnegut, themes like 1984, and disturbing modern relevancy, read this if you want to think, gag, and be upset…but in a way that makes you feel more aware.
Obviously many trigger warnings: murder, mutilation, rape, abuse, molestation, racism, the full gambit
