My first foray into cosmic horror (I think!) and I was pretty impressed with the creativity of this story! Unlike How We Broke, this book does feature a lot of gore and violence, but it works and even I could handle it! What I couldn’t handle was the protagonist, a self-described ‘stuck-up whiny narcissist’. Every time he opened his mouth I wanted to punch him in it. I’m all for unlikeable protagonists but I dunno, something about him just grated on me far too much. But still a cool premise that probably would have benefited from being fleshed out in a few more than just 97 pages.
