I don’t think a book has ever made me physically nauseous before. Andrew Joseph White, you've done it again, my good sir. I think this is the most grotesque, visceral book I have ever read an, I loved it. I had to put it down multiple times to scream. I was truly emotionally deeply scarred by blank space on a book. There is so much rage in this story, and I was living so vicariously in it. (Also, in my opinion, body horror is the best kind of horror. If it doesn’t make me want to vomit, I don’t want it.) So excited for Compound Fracture.
