This is a nasty book, with nasty people doing nasty things. 
If you can get your hands on the audiobook I highly rec it. As it really just made this book so much better! 
This is a dark fantasy horror that follows two men that fancy themselves as monsters. Florian is a wizard with a heart full of hate for the people around him and Johann is the unkillable beast that serves him. 
I love this book so much, it has everything that I love. Nasty main characters, gothic fantasy themes, LGBTQ+ characters, and lastly ... Lots and lots of gore, body horror, and lust.
