There's a pretty slow start before things ramp up, and then things take a very sharp left turn with one character in particular and from then on it was hard to feel horrified over the sheer stupidity. 

A quick read tho, and with interesting (if extremely literary and not at all realistic) prose. Not a strong recommend but I wouldn't chase anyone off it.

The content warning list is, shockingly, probably not exhaustive. But this isn't a splatter-punk book so take it with a grain of salt if you're used to extreme horror. This is not it, in my opinion.

This is a book. Very triggering and disgusting about a depraved lesbian relationship. After reading this you will look at Apple peelers, tape worms and meat very differently.

this book was weird. i went into it thinking it would be horror but the first part read as a fetishized lesbian porno. there was seemingly unnecessary animal abuse but i would
 say the ending was not what i expected. overall i’d give it a 3.75 after learning the author them self is queer and it had a very compelling storyline.
