When your internal monologue switches to Anderson Cooper (admittedly, mine has at some points), because your family is now ‘possessed‘ to do unspeakable disgusting things based on media brain rot…well, should you think you‘re any better? Our media consumption is the downfall of society in this story. One I consider amazingly crafted and particularly disturbing. Ironically unironically sharing on social media, hashtag. 😁

A horror political satire that is going to appeal to a certain demographic. A bizarre media source transforms closed-minded individuals and their audience into possessed violent zombies. Those trying to escape the chaos are pitted against this cult of monsters until society and civilization eventually deteriorate. A good premise, but the repetition of prose could have been tweaked and requires more editing.

4 ✨ Unsettling, Savory & Grotesque

Not my preferred sub-genre within horror but I was highly entertained from start to finish. Plethora of social commentary. Some feeling too close to home. Plenty of body horror & emphasizes on family division specifically through a political scope. Was enthralled with watching the family slowly disintegrating, not only mentally but physically. I could not help but devour the entirety.

AmyG Oooo I have not seen the ginger/lemon flavor. 🙌🏻 1mo

Oh. My. Gosh. This was such a good story. No One is safe in this expose of how media rots our brains, even the "good guys" will get called out. If you're in the mood for a poignant, political, apocalyptic horror, this one is definitely worth it. Gives a while new meaning to the term "doom scrolling."
Check trigger warnings if you're squeamish, it is horror after all.

This book was just okay. It had a great premise, but the execution is a bit lacking. The politics are too heavy-handed, and I‘m not one who minds an author being political. I don‘t get why gross sex scenes had to be used so often to denote evil. There‘s one section, where we watch a whole family fall apart, that is just too long. I did finish it though. #audiowalk

I should just listen to this as my bedtime book since I only have a little over an hour left, but I don‘t like listening to horror at night. I‘ve had bad dreams doing that before. I still can‘t say I‘m enamored with this book, but it‘s an interesting take on the end of the world. Beautiful day today. Nice temperatures and wonderful breezes. #audiowalk

My hold on this came in earlier than I expected, so I‘m back to WUaOYE for my #audiowalk earlier than I thought I‘d be. I still haven‘t decided if I like it, but I‘m determined to finish it this time. It was a lovely evening for a walk.
