I honestly don’t even know how to rate this book. It was eerie, grotesque, and confusing but also hard to put down. I would not recommend this to someone struggling with their mental health, as it does an excellent job at putting you inside the mind of a truly disturbed individual. I’ve seen others compare it to Eraserhead, Poe, and Dostoevsky, and I am inclined to agree. Was it the ramblings of a mad man? Opium induced nightmares and hallucinations? Hell of his own making? Either way, I won’t soon forget this book.
