in all seriousness, this book was unnervingly gross and terrifying with a freaky as shit (but unique) depiction of a mix between vampirism and cannibalism. it has dark and sometimes genuinely triggering takes on disability and mental illness, specifically postpartum depression and the realities + struggles of motherhood. it was, however, written with a truly understanding and considerate perspective towards the latter topics mentioned above, and it even got a bit inspiring towards the end. i feel the need to say that im surprised considering this was all authored by a man, and you normally wouldn't expect them to have sensible opinions about such matters that aren't downright disrespectful, tone-deaf and/or written insensitively. at this point i didn't even mind the jarring inclusion of covid out of nowhere.
i'm so sorry mr. cassidy, i was unfamiliar with your game. 4.5 stars for you sir.

I found the two main characters both deeply unlikable, and the racist, sexist landlord felt cartoonish and not at all real (despite knowing there are people out there who think/act like this). There was only one moment where I felt tense,
