3.0

This is a book about giant killer lobster/crab/scorpion monsters and “creature from the black lagoon”-like monsters devouring a small town in Maine and the gore is splatterpunk levels of extreme violence. (You want a character tripping on acid while every inch their intestines are unspooled from their body? This book has that and MORE.) It’s not a book for everyone, but for those that read the above sentences and had their intrigue sparked it is a gift from the splatter gods handed up from hell specifically for them, wrapped in snapped tendons and adorned with a bow made of viscera. 

*As a non-gore content warning, this book does indulge in the “kill the gays” trope (though, to be fair, the book isn’t choosy about who it kills off. Characters aren’t specifically targeted for death so much as *every* character in the book is targeted for death.)
