3.0

A macabre and agonizing story of a never-ending hunger. I think Tantlinger's writing here is best described as festering. It is absolutely dripping with exquisitely putrid details of horror that makes you crawls under your skin and make you squirm. Although I really enjoyed her writing, I didn't find the overall book compelling. It is still a fun piece of horror and worth the read especially if you're interested in obscure and gore-y horror.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat

So normally I don’t really love the
Spoilerwomen be crazy
genre of horror, or
Spoiler gross out
horror, but here they join together perfectly in a <spoiler >gross disgusting sad fucked up tense whirlwind of ewwwww. </spoiler >

I can’t recommend this to anyone. It was literally nauseating. But it felt authentic and real and rough. 

The Dr. Fawning thing
Spoilerwas a bit obvious too early for the reveal to have proper impact, but overall, I loved it bc it did show that deep inside she had juuuust enough self awareness to almost be able to help herself. But not enough, not enough.</spoiler >
