This is a horror book that will keep you up all night. It is horrifying, filled with terror and body horror, and is not for the tame of heart. It is disturbing, gross, and may bring you phobias you never knew you had...AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. Think of it this way: this book is what would happen if The Fly and Jurassic Park had a squishy and disgusting baby. It's awesome.
