This is truly the most upsetting book I’ve read this year, but I’m glad to have read it. It kept me constantly afraid and left me with a sense of awe. This is a fantastic book. But, mind the trigger warnings.

This book filled me with existential dread. That being said, the prose is occasionally arresting and I’ll be thinking about it for a long time. Also, the body horror was a bit much for me.
