I think this book does a good job using metaphor to show how capital uses violence to coerce the working class to support the status quo under the guise of respectably and order. Unfortunately the narrative aspect isn't as strong. Most of the characters aren't well developed and the plot wraps up incredibly quickly.
Not bad, but would probably be more effective in a longer format.

The ending to this one just kinda killed the tension I loved it still but still for a horror with an anti-capitalism message I dont think that was intended.
