As another review put it, this book is utterly horrific and yet I couldn't put it down. Mostly because it was short and I wanted to be done with it already, but also because the prose is well written even if the content of it is nauseating. I'm not shy of horror, but this was a step too far for me.

Minor: Car accident

Graphic, on page depictions of most things but most notably: assault of a minor by a parent, assault of a minor by a sibling, beastiality, physical abuse between parental figure and child, prostitution, murder, drug use, etc. Not for the faint of heart.

This was absolutely demonic. And that's the point, I guess. Poverty and its many faces of degradation.

very well written; very disturbing too. you get (sometimes uncomfortably) deep into the characters psyches. i like the title because reading this feels like being in a hurricane of emotions, trauma, hate, sadness.
