A lof of people seem to hate that Frank turned out to be trans. I don't think that is the problem with this book. the gross over use of animal abuse is really the biggest turn-off for me. Overall, realizing that Frank was done wrong by the only person he ever trusted or seemed to love in his life was the hardest part of all. I think the part with Frank assuming that his dad was trans was a really intersting thought to consider, and the reveal of Frank being AFAB as an "expieriment" is equally frustrating but horrifying, and isn't that part of being a horror novel?Graphic: Body shaming, Death, Fire/Fire injury, Mental illness, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , Animal cruelty, Animal death, Body horror, Child abuse, Gore, and Sexism
