Serious trigger warnings for just about everything. Sexual assault, murder, violence, gore, mental manipulation. This is not a book for the feint of heart

A grotesque critique of capitalism. 

You either love it or you hate it. It’s vile and unwavering. One of the few books that made my stomach turn.
