One of the most graphic horror novels dealing with difficult subject matter that many would not want to read. I really enjoyed it but it does contain a lot of gore.

While the plot was interesting and unique, some rather misogynistic and stereotypical depictions of women and people of colour put me off overall. I don't recommend this book if you can't handle heavy-handed horror.
Graphic: Gore, Medical content, Child death, Abortion, Death, Kidnapping, Medical trauma, Body horror, and Murder
Moderate: Violence, Animal death, Blood, Torture, and Injury/Injury detail
