This started out fun and ordinary and then turned absolutely fascinating. I don't want to give away too much, but the twist is really cool, and I haven't seen it done super much in SciFi fiction yet! I wish it had been a biiit more excplicit towards the end, but totally get why it wasn't.
Protagonist turning into the horrifying crypt monster, not realizing, but steaddily dropping hints that you as the reader only notice when the full picture comes up? Absolutely chefs kiss!
Apparently it's a reimagining/inspiration taken from of Grendel from Beowulf, as the protagonist literally is called Gary (G.) Rendel, plus some Danish influences, and he looses his arm.
