I didn't know what to expect going in to this book but it was different than anything I could have thought and that's a very good thing.

This horror/comedy is weird, satirical, and has everything you'd want in horror including tentacle plant ladies, demons, alternate worlds, and other creatures which you just have to read about to grasp their full scope.

Told from two perspectives, one in our world and one in another, they both collide in sometimes goopy and humorous ways. One of our main characters just wanted a job that didn't require him to clean up urine and blood. When he gets hired with no resistance as a salesman for advertising from a newspaper of some kind, he might just wish he didn't apply.

In another existence, our other main character is wondering why the magical and very eccentric city she lives in is empty, leaving her all alone with things she doesn't want to imagine.

These two arcs will come together in this blend of horror and hilarity with a great satirical twisty narrative that can sometimes be puzzling but still very entertaining.

I recommend this novel if you're looking for something weird and oddly different.

This was a really cool book. I couldn’t put it down once I started it. It was a five star read! I think others will enjoy it as much as I did.

I was so excited to receive this ARC and have been craving some body horror. Unfortunately, I feel too dumb for this book. I could stay on track for Noah's story, but Malachia's was really hard for me to follow. The footnotes also did not make any sense (assuming that was purposeful?). The pages and pages of creepy newspaper clippings from the printing store were cool but did not translate as well for a digital copy of a book.

I will say the cover is beautiful though.
