This book is extremely graphic. It seems like the author made it into a horror book by including horrific scenes of violence. I was disappointed that such an otherwise interesting story included such human debasement in the name of making a story "scary." I finished the book but it left me feeling uneasy and contemplating the role of violence in the horror genre.art_books_chemistry's review against another edition
