Tender Is the Flesh

this book is NOT for the faint of heart. i generally can stomach gruesome horror, but this is high on my list of most disturbing things i've ever read. the writing oscillates rapidly between deranged, disgusting, and heartbreaking, but never once did i want to do anything but keep reading, like a car crash you can't look away from. certainly a good spooky season read!

edit: i've also never been more happy to be a vegetarian than while reading this novel
