Amazing book but a little long. Some chapters can get a little boring but the plot is going to make you keep reading.

The unjustifiable depiction of rape is what finally made me put the book down after trawling through racism, homophobia, and misogyny

5.0

This is Nick Cutter's best book, in my opinion. Strange, disturbing, fantastical and absolutely wild, this incredibly original horror book addresses some of the darkest topics in fiction. Cutter pushes his readers to their limits with this story, doing so unapologetically and with little explanation. There are parts of this book that I think about and they still scare me. The epilogue broke my heart and is a MUST READ to complete this story. I'm not sure who I would recommend this book to, but if you are looking for something that will push you well outside your comfort zone, this is the book for you!
