Picked this up expecting some silly pulpy garbage to enjoy while camping in the PNW. It wasn't mind blowingly good, but it did exceed my (low) expectations. There are some well thought out characters in here, an interesting, well structured plot, and some shockingly solid prose throughout. If anything, I kind of wished it was a little trashier and leaned harder into the grotesque. But that's not really a problem with the book, just me not getting exactly what I was hoping out of it.
