Interesting premise and the story reeled me in quickly. I don't usually really love horror books with (view spoiler), and this book didn't make an exception. There were a few creepy moments though and the story felt original enough – possibly because of the themes of disability and Jewish cultural references. Quite well written, if not exactly my type.
Graphic: Body horror, Gore, Racial slurs, Antisemitism, Medical trauma, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Death of parent
