I was so pleasantly surprised by this!! I was expecting like 80’s goop horror and instead i got a hybrid of Lord of the Flies , Russian Sleep Experiment , & Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke. All wrapped up in like a devastating painting of boyhood. I was so sad that Newt got infected and also that Ephraim went crazy bc of Shelley-thing. Rest in peace baby boys. i want a sequel! Reading this book is like watching the worm-fight scene from the movie Splice.
