“Would you call the blade in surgery ‘evil’ even though it cuts away the disease? Would you call lightning ‘evil’ even though it brings with it the rain to feed your crops? Sonny, I am not evil. I am the reaction to your world’s evil. I exist, because your sin exists.”

Accurate description of Tillamook. Absolutely horrifying description of a grandma nearly getting murdered with a frozen chicken breast. Insane book.

CW: The Prologue has intense body horror and violence involving children. Chapter 1 starts with a suicide, then one of the best descriptions of grief i have ever read.
,This book is going to change me, I can tell.
