Hell Followed With Us was such an amazing book! Benji as a main character was relatable, well-written, and fleshed out (pun intended). The body horror was definitely body-horroring. The background of the apocalypse really kept me interested and I liked how details were slowly revealed over time. The world-building was especially really cool and felt like a bio-warfare version of Far Cry 5. My only point of contention is that I had to use a bit of suspension of disbelief when it came to the alt-right Christian cult allowing women and minorities to hold power in their ranks.
