A high note of dread sang through Luke’s veins—a mocking aria that sent a shiver through his bones.
What are you so afraid of? said that same voice inside Luke’s head.
Everything, another voice answered.
well that was a mind fuck and a half. I was unable to put this down—the tension was unparalleled and the prose was excellent without being overwrought, enough to describe stuff concisely and viscerally in a way that suits body horror. but I feel like I gotta dock points for the weird fatphobia, it was hard to tell if it was the MC or author who was repulsed or what purpose that served
not a book I'd easily recommend? it's probably the first time I've read something with a trigger warning list the length of my arm. you're like "that was amazing! but did I like it? I have no idea!" I don't mind open endings, either, and I'm still processing how I felt, but I do wish we'd gotten a bit more out of that as well.

lemme break it down for ya:
parts 1, 2 & 3? utterly boring and mind-numbing and the whole writing down the sounds made didn't help. also i DIDN'T appreciate the numerous flashbacks that went on for pages. they could've been done away with.
parts 4 & 5? HELL YEAH, that's my stuff!! horrors beyond human comprehension & feeling helpless? fuck yes!! the writing was still meh tho especially with those internal voices inside luke's mind. it was silly & brought you out of the story lol.
part 6? i- we don't speak about it lol.
