Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated
Mostly focused on the gore and the horror of everything, without much to offer for story or characters. A reasonably fun read if you go into the book expecting old school monster-flick vibes.
