REVIEW

I would describe it as a series of vignettes with an over arching cosmic horror plot and each of the vignettes does slightly more psychic damage than the last. It's like when you're eating a slow-building spicy food and at first you're like "Oh okay, I don't know what everyone else was talking about LOL" but then as you eat more it gets hotter and hotter to the point that it's actively hurting you to consume more and you're like "Am I actually enjoying this anymore or just trying to finish it?" I did enjoy it, it's just kind of A LOT CWs if you're ever thinking about reading: Body Horror (Morphing, mutilation, people fusing together, turning into monsters), Death (includes very graphic depictions of children dying), Cannibalism, Undead, Obsession/general mental unwellness, imprisonment, stalking.
