4.5

It's even better than Terrortome! None of the 3 stories outstay their welcome and they're a lot more creative, surreal and bizarre. Has even more of a suspicious amount of genital trauma than the first book, as well as more death, gore, excrement and general horror theming. I unironically love the idea of Deathflap

The running theme of imprisonment is fun to see him mess around with. Garths writing has an uncanny ability for replicating the writing voice of my 10 year old self. Love to see Roz take a bit of narrative control in the third story <3
