Since we finally seemed to get over him saying EVERYTHING was "winking", I'd now like to complain that I'm also extremely tired of hearing "fast-twitch muscle". HOW does he get SO elaborate and verbose when it comes to animal torture but when describing the boys, he has about 5 adjectives. He also can't decide if Shelley looks like a cow or a wolf, apparently. It gets really interesting and then he just shits on it.

The killing the turtle was also toomuch. It makes way more sense to elaborate on due to the context VS how long the cat flashback scene went on, but it still went on too long and was egregious to the point of making me even further just fully believe this author is into animal torture. It gets to a point where it's obvious it's a fetish, like Tarantino and feet. Nick Cutter and animal torture.

Had to skip around half a chapter of animal gore porn on a kitten and this will severely decrease my rating regardless of if the ending is good or not. This mf Nick Cutter needs his hard drive checked immediately. Matter of fact, just go ahead and put him in the hole. It gets to a point where it's not horror anymore and it's just self indulging depravity.

Way too graphic depictions of animal abuse, idc. Didn't necessarily realize up until this point that this might be considered splatterpunk or adjacent. The earlier instances were hard to stomach but this is just unreadable garbage for the sake of shock value. Animal gore porn. If u disagree idc I think you need your hard drive checked tbh lmao

The opening to chapter 27. I knew it. Not hard to tell. It was obvious it was gonna take this route. I just wonder how this will affect the ending. I'm intrigued to see if this open secret (to the reader) goes in a overly tropey way or in a genuine twist way. I WANT this book to give me a good gasp. It's certainly grossed me out!

Oh my god. He did it. He used "winked" again. It feels like the only word he knows. I'm losing my fucking mind. This was getting so good. I'm tweaking out. Please make it stop.

I knew it was Kent next

Shelley is a fucking future serial killer, I'm calling it now

finally it's getting pretty good

I've been excited to read this book for months. I'm already about to DNF it because I'm literally only 1/12th's into this fucker and this man has used the word "winking" about EVERY single mention of exposed bone or teeth. it's seriously been 5 or 6 times now, i think. I'm pissed because i thought this was gonna be really good. and some of it is... if "winking" has NO deeper meaning I'm gonna be SO pissed idc sthu
