I was told this would be a “weird book” - but I liked “Gun Machine” a lot and thought it would be similar. Hell. No. This book is a drugged up fever dream wherein the author is likely coming to terms with some stuff through writing this - and I don’t wanna guess what that stuff is. Every chapter brought two “wtf” moments. And it got to where I would pause just to say “what” out loud repeatedly. No. I do not recommend this book. No. It is weird. And wrong. In a lot of ways. If you read it just remember that you did it to yourself.
That said - it flows fast, does some shock and horror, is morbidly interesting, and can be read in less than a day.
