One of my biggest issues was that it ended right when it was starting to get good. I also felt the setting of the story was superfluous in the sense that the sense of isolation and online community within the LGBTQ+ is just as relevant if not more prevalent today than in 2000.
Great body horror novella, and exactly what I was looking for as an avid horror movie lover taking his first steps into the horror literature realm. Also if I can be candid (not that anyone will see this) but for some reason this reminds me of that one online article I read almost a decade ago about the woman who would love to lay in a garbage bin on a hot afternoon in NYC and letting all the bugs crawl all around and inside her. Disturbing
