Wtf!!

Such a weird nightmare fuel of a read. Interesting plot though and went in a completely unhinged direction that kept me reading and constantly saying just "wtf!!". Not at all what I was expecting but in a good way.

This was wild. So gross and stressful. I loved it. It's like Eric LaRocca wrote Leave the World Behind.

There isn't too much to say without spoiling this. It's an intense, rollercoaster ride, with some supernatural elements, looking at family life and human relationships.
It's a powerful read though, that covers a lot of difficult and important issues, with plenty of TW, so be cautious before reading!  I can't wait to see what else the author writes in the future.
