A truly interesting premise, and a grim narration. I enjoyed it, but maybe I had too high expectations. That said, perfect autumn read.

This was so freaking weird!  Did I enjoy it? Heck yah!  Could I even try to explain how or what this is about?  Not coherently.  And honestly that's OK (to me).  The writing was good, the characters were  fascinating, and the story was odd and complex.  Highly recommend!

I picked up this book after seeing another Goodreads reader saying they wanted to put it in the freezer. It's appropriately strange and spooky, and I loved the creepy descriptions of the procedures themselves. However I wasn't really sold on the relationship with Samson and it takes up a huge portion of the book.
