I saw someone describe the book as "an inside joke between you and the author: one that makes perfect sense to you, but it would be confusing to try and explain it to anyone else" and I think that's fitting.
The whole story is frustratingly pointless but fascinating nonetheless. The characters, though characatures, are not entirely impossible to imagine today, which is the most frightening element to the whole book.
Its definitely gross, but not in some ridiculously horrifying way that'd give you nightmares.
