The story of a spiral-obsessed man that turns into a spiral-obsessed community, that turns into a spiral-obsessed town that lets noone escape. This is by far one of the strangest things I have read. It might just be a strange and twisted (hehe) love story, or it might just be the nightmare of a world collapsing on itself, inescapable.

The body horror becomes overwhelming until it makes the reader numb. The psychological horror has it's ups and downs; and I'm not sure if the story ever culminated. It just... Went there. And finished.

The finale is underwhelming, at least it was for me. I don't feel like it explains much. Even so, the book is worth exploring, it has an internal consistency and a build-up that is worth exploring. Reading this is a strange experience, and I'm pretty sure that the experience might vary from person to person. In horror, usually there's light at the end of the tunnel. Or darkness. Here there's neither, and both.
