Kind of disappointed to be honest. Horror without violence against girls or women is extremely rare, so I was happy to pick up this book which targeted only boys and men. But it ended up being pretty boring to me, and not at all as gory and violent as people said it was. Also, the characters are basically NPCs, just archetype (Nerd, bully, sociopath, Jackass etc.) which makes them boring and unrelatable too. I didn't care if they lived or die. I wish this book would have been more depraved and extreme, with people that feel like actual people
