Definitely not for the faint of heart! Kline is kidnapped by a crazy self mutilating cult that believes amputating your limbs brings you closer to god. Kline struggles to find a way out of the nightmarish compound without losing more than he’s willing to give.

This one was uncomfortable, it was grotesque, it was violent and it was so, so weird! Despite this being only about 200 pages it took me awhile to finish because I had to put it down several times when it got too much for me. 

If you’re looking for a short but terrifying novella with a weird story, and can ha die some pretty graphically grotesque imagery, check this one out.
