In love with this style. It felt aggressive and pointy like the look of an ice pick. Guy keeps wanting to stab his baby due to a past event so he plans to stab a prostitute instead but he chooses a prostitute that's loosing her shit on drugs and it's chaotic and frantic and I have aphantasia but I felt this book so easily that I might as well have been there to witness it all.

Very interesting concept but it got a little boring quite fast. I was also a bit confused by the ending. Loved the backstories of the characters. It's also short enough that it didn't outstay it's welcome.

i really enjoyed this read although i did think it was going to be a bit more gorey. once I realized it was less slasher and more psychological it really really grew on me. the characters are insane but i kind of love them ? they are NOT loveable. they need sever psychiatric help. but i love them.
