It's gross, appaling, and utterly horrific.
Trigger warnings for this book should be heavily looked upon, which I'm adding ones that are appropriate.
Ā I've seen many reviews saying they couldn't finish it, which I can understand to the fullest. The characters are iredeemable, they're full of flaws, if you can even consider it that, and are aware of their wrongdoings to the fullest. You can consider the main character cringy and an edgelord, or you may not.
I had to put this book down for a break and a breather multiple times, I couldn't stomach all of it at once.
But I think this book is supposed to be edgy and gross and make it disgust people, and it does the job.
It's a horrific book with a different type ofĀ presentation. Kudos to Morrison for writing it, and for everyone who reads it.Ā

Overall, trying to be as objective as possible, I think it was mediocre, edging on bad. Could do withoutĀ the Try-Hard edginess, but I think there actually *was* a decent, intriguing love story hidden inside the shock value. I would not recommend this book to any other living soul.Ā

I wish Morrison would have given us (readers) something meaningful to ponder while reading, something that made all the fucked up parts of the book significant. Right now, it all feels two dimensional, like it's all there just for shock value.Ā
That being said, if you are looking for a short horror read that will astonish you with all the fucked up things a person can do to another, it's worth giving this book a read. There were times where I legitimately brought my hand over my mouth in horror.

This entire book is a trigger warning.chloseencounter's review against another edition
It seems like reviews are either āthis is the worst book I ever read, I love it.ā or āthis is the worst book I ever read, I hate itā, but all the good reviews have no commentary about the actual substance of the book, theyāre all just āwell that was gross.ā I understand feeling as if a book must be good because it gave you a visceral reaction but l personally need a little bit of substance with my violence.Ā

This book is not for everyone, it contains very disturbing and dark themes, and the descriptions are graphic and disgusting. I read it because it was recommended on a one-sit read TikTok I came across, with no warnings, and saw everyone in the comments talking about how this book shouldn't be recommended so casually which I agree with- do not recommend this book to someone without at least letting them know they should look up the TW's for it.Ā
Point us I got curious and since I don't mind fucked up fictional content, decided to check it out.Ā
As I said,Ā I don't mind fucked up fictional content....when it's well-written and executed properly. But this is written in a way where the purpose is just to shock the audience, and that's not the type of horror I like; I am giving it 1 1/4 stars because it was slightly interesting towards the end and I liked the final twist.Ā
Not a book I would recommend. Not a book I would read again.Ā

Horrible book. Fucked up. Clearly written by a man, the personality of the main character is cringe and annoying.Ā
I've been super into horror lately but this is just mindless fucked up. First DNF of my reading stint this year. No thank you.Ā

A necropheliac falls in āloveā with a cannibal and his life changes.
Disgusting, depraved, creatively bankrupt. The writing is good and that accounted for 2 of the 2.25 rating.Ā
The content is disgusting without merit. To be devoured and tender is the flesh are both gross books but they are actual stories. This is pornographic shock and awe .Ā
