It was an interesting concept that with better care and the proper story teller could be expanded on beautifully. The only part that stuck with me was the quote “What have you done to deserve your eyes?” Which I wish was further expanded on.

Gonna give this a 3.75 ⭐ it is my first horror book this October and I think I would want to read more. Here's the thing with this novella, was it badly written? I dont think so. Was I disgusted? Definitely. Would I recommend this to a first time horror reader? No. Would I gift this to an enemy? Yes.
The author was simply vibing with this novella. Not much plot, just tapeworms and vibes. And I guess the goal was for the readers to elicit this type of reaction so its safe to say that theyre successful for that.
And come to think of it, if you really, truly loved someone, wouldn't you unearth the ground and devour some maggots? Does it matter? Does any of this really matter?

Both of these things did happen in the story but I was absolutely not expecting it to get as weird as it did. Nonetheless I was hooked and wanted to know what will happen in the end!
Without giving any spoilers: I was expecting more from the end. For my taste it just ended too abruptly. Bit maybe that’s just because I am used to reading full-length novels?
Still, if this sounds interesting to you - go for it! It’s definitely worth a read. But maybe check out content warning first - this gets pretty gross occasionally.

For a sec. I contemplated my decision of reading this. You can feel the manipulation and the detailed stories of stuff you look away from.
Ending was a little abrupt.
A quick read for anyone who likes horror in form of mental illness, darker shaded of human desires and details of the same .
