Amazing read I picked up on a whim. Thoroughly a worthy read, and while dense and convoluted at times manages to benefit from difficulty in reading it. The third act stumbles a bit from an otherwise tight narrative, but pulls itself together to stick the landing.
Graphic: Homophobia
Moderate: Sexual violence and Animal cruelty
