If you’ve ever wondered what carrion tastes like, boy do I have the book for you!  If you’re squeamish, you might want to pass, because some of the descriptions here - sheesh! This is an incredibly twisted story about grief, loss, anger, dark desires and a woman struggling with it all. Queer horror has easily been the most unhinged I've ever read! 

I cringed and read parts of this hiding behind my hands, but still, no matter how horrified I was, I had to keep reading and seeing where this was going to go.
