WARNING: this book is not for the faint of heart. This is HORROR. Please look up triggers and content warnings.

That being said, I can't in good conscience give this book a rating. Judith Sonnet is known for her extreme body horror and this is no exception. There is a content warning at the 60% mark for a reason. However, the point of a horror is to frighten. It's to be gross. And do the unimaginable. The negative comments are clearly from people who did not read the afterward and Judith's reasoning behind writing this novella the way she did. Despite this being written in just 10 days, the writing was extremely well done. Again, if body horror isn't your cup of tea, I get that, but Judith Sonnet sure knows how to create VIVID imagery. Did I enjoy the book? No, because that's what it was supposed to do. It was meant to leave you with that icky feeling afterward.

If you can stomach extreme horror, this was very well written. It was fast paced, yet still a had a fully fleshed out story and characters. I will continue to read more from this author and recommend if horror is your thing.
