This is one of the darkest and heaviest books I've ever read. At its core, this book is angry and visceral with hatefulness directed at hate. It is disgusting, graphic, and often hard to stomach. And that's the whole point. The prose is almost like a fever dream at points and it demands full concentration on all the trauma that is unfolding. Despite all of that, I still found it a worthwhile read, though I would hesitate to recommend it widely.
