This is the kind of fantasy I most enjoy. It's in a world that's familiar but off, so it's easy for me to imagine. There's people with regular names I can remember and pronounce. It's a little bit gritty but balanced with humor.
It's fun but dark (kind of sort of like how The Boys tv series is kind of fun but also dark and gory). It's weird and bizarre without feeling like it's trying too hard to be weird and bizarre. I don't really know how to fully describe it without giving some key info away.
There is a heavy dose of animal death. I had to skim through some of those parts (especially a part involving dogs) because it was too much for me.

i definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a novel that is told mostly from the point of a villain-adjacent character.

I believe this book would be served better by the genre tag WEIRD FICTION. It's marketed as horror but it's not the type of horror you expect from a horror novel. Anyway, fun read.
