For one, I just couldn't relate with Erin at all. Her psychotic dependence on Silas was annoying and inexplicable. I understand it's a commentary on addiction, but all the characters just sucked so much.
Also, the author has a choking fetish or something because, boy howdy, did they use the word "throat" excessively and repeatedly depict and describe choking.
Final word, it was upsetting and not worth the message. idk

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is into "sporror" (mushroom horror), as I can see it is a must-read in that canon. I think this one was just not for me, unfortunately.
