Wish this would’ve been a full-blown novel to explore more of the multiple narratives introduced. The author did an amazing job with the short amount of pages though and had such great grotesque imagery.
I definitely could’ve done without the monster sex though.

Story line kept me interested from beginning to end unfortunately I received a copy that had a lot of spelling and grammar issues which did take away from it a bit.

This is a awesome creature feature.
It is dark, disturbing and gruesome, I loved it.
It has a excellent combination of different types of creatures features movies and books, so you get a little bit of a Godzilla vibe, a little of bit of species movie vibe, a little bit of The Fly, with some of the story from the creatures prospective and some form the scientist trying to figure out what caused it, so some regular people just trying to keep themselves safe.

Off the bat: if you're going to buy this book, I suggest looking for a physical copy. The kindle version is formatted very badly; a lot of words have no spacing between them, some for the entire sentence, which made reading difficult for some parts. This, however, had no effect on my overall opinion of the book or the rating.
In all honesty this book reads like a short story that dragged on a little too long. We're introduced to way too many characters, who feel more like archetypes than actual people, that end up just taking a back seat to the gore and violence. The deaths don't hit as hard as they could because we're given no time to care about them beforehand. The constant introduction and then transformation and/or mutilation of so many characters makes the ending feel abrupt and unsatisfactory. I can appreciate an open ending to a book, or even an unhappy one where humanity loses, but this one felt more like the author wasn't sure what to do next, so he just stopped writing. I feel like there was so much more that could have been explored in this book.

I used my good eyes to read this! Nothing prepared me for three penis monster sex written like something between National Geographic documentary narration and erotica novel.
There were issues in the plot that were never addressed by the end. So much time ended up dedicated to the detailed mutated-human sex that things like opiods being related to the mutations ended up unaddressed.
He tried to wrap things up in the last 2 pages with napalm but couldn't even do that. This books had so much potential but was so disappointing.

interesting concept.
I liked the book. It was interesting and gory. I feel like it could of continued a bit more. If you like a monster filled, bloody read, then this book is for you. The biggest issue I had was the format. I bought the kindle book and the format was off. It looked like a rougher draft that got scanned in.
