This is not a book for everyone, be very aware of all content warnings before picking this one up!! This dark and disturbing novel reminded me a lot of Tender is the Flesh in its bleakness, in its constant horror and hopelessness. Tons of gore, death, and terror in this one so don’t go into it lightly. But if you do, you’ll find a great horror novel that’s hard to put down. I mostly read this in one sitting because once the horror starts it doesn’t stop and I could not rest with this book half finished!
