wowee this book is gross but in a great way! I feel like there were some film references I missed so definitely will reread in the future. All the gross spooky vibes and perfectly takes the zero hour incestual work group dynamics to the extreme. Loveee

This book is absolutely not for everyone, it's grotesque and made me feel physically unwell at several points but I literally couldn't put it down? and I'd absolutely read it again? wild
