This book feels pretty ridiculous, I know. But it also has a semi-heartfelt story to it as well. It's claustrophobic, and at times heart-pounding. It's being made into a movie, I'll be interested to make the comparison.
Graphic: Blood, Grief, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Animal death, Suicide, Terminal illness, Death of parent, and Pandemic/Epidemic
