This had a cool concept that was seriously undermined by execution.
Most immediately obnoxious were the “Wow, No Thank You” factors that begin on page one (depiction of a rape in progress) and continue throughout (undertones of sexism and racism, author-insert main character who's a complete chode but is meant to come off as cool and amazing).
But this also suffered from lack of development - the plot is so rushed and the introduction so choppy that it never gets a chance to settle into your brain. This of course is fatal for something meant to be horrifying.
Two stars for concept, some interesting plot (proto-)developments, and some good eerie imagery.
