Gross, horrific and romantic! Long, long list of content warnings and the biggest one isn't even recognized by Storygraph: do not read this if you cannot handle bugs, body horror and religious abuse.

Otherwise, this Tingle title is a visceral romp from abuse to self actualization. As a queer person raised in a religious household I felt seen. It is a cathartic and horrifying feeling. 8/10 highly recommended!

Wow. Just wow. When I first saw this book one fateful lunch hour, I thought "Chuck Tingle? The guy who writes the meme erotica? That Chuck Tingle? He wrote a novel? And its horror!?" so of course I had to buy it.

And I do not regret doing so one bit. This blindingly paced horror yarn about love, loss, and faith. If you want horror that makes you feel a whole gammet of emotions, this is for you!

It was okay. I loved Bury Your Gays so I wanted to read this but this was a little more religious based than I liked. It's horrible what happens to the characters but it wasn't what I thought it would be.
