** For your own sake read the content warnings **
This book was well written, with great use of metaphor and weaved German fables and superstition into the reality of the story's setting very well. That is all I liked about it.
This book has no plot and no real conclusion. It is a peek into a small cursed town full of horrible and violent people doing awful, vile things. I don't see a purpose to it except to disturb the reader. I got nothing from this book except a bad taste in my mouth.
