I’ve been struggling to find the words to describe the gnawing that this book has left me with. It is not horror, but it is horrifying. Definitely a book I used tabs on. I get why many people favorite it (I would say ‘enjoy it’, but I’m not sure how true that is). But it does help that Katherine Dunn has a way with making sure the words that need to hit home, do.
Would definitely recommend.

Sick and twisted! But the book isn't bad. The best part is the creative writing. Extremely, vividly, wildly creative.
