 Thanks, Netgalley for this gem! This was infectious. I was in a frenzy the whole time I was reading. As someone who also suffered, maybe still does, from health anxiety (formerly called hypochondria), this was relatable. The oddly specific hypochondriac thought spiral in your brain when you feel a minor pang or ache, in your body, is shockingly well written. This mind-blowing, spellbinding novel written in verse reverberates through your body as you read it at the speed of Jason Statham drifting on the streets of Tokyo. It is teeming with gore, blood, and puss. Its sharp descriptions of everything that can go wrong in a human body are haunting. Luna Rey Hall does not shy away from anything, no matter how vile or disgusting. Do not read this if you're squeamish! There might be a zombie apocalypse going on... or it could be a mere hallucination. Who knows?
