Trigger warning: Body horror and suicidal ideation I went back and forth on a rating for this one, but honestly I could not in good conscience give this more than 2 stars.

This book is bloody disgusting. A foul, body-horror, visceral experience usually reserved for John Carpenter movies. I was utterly unprepared to be so repulsed by the mere written word. The story centers on a troop of five 14 year old boy-scouts, their honourable scoutmaster, and a (very very […]
