Almost dropped it at the beginning but one of my favorite YouTuber Anda Kent recommended the book, so I pushed through. Glad I did! It wasn't as gory as American Psycho or Gone to See The River Man, but still shocking and graphic enough, so tread with caution. The abridged version was nice, it was short, gory and creepy. A fun read. If you're into extreme horror I think it's best dive in unprepared (The narrator caught a cold around 80% through, and recovered around 90% mark. Just a heads up!)

Four self absorbed, idiotic white people go to try and find their German friends brother and encounter a
As others have said, there are no ruins.
You can tell the author is a man. The women are useless and even in the horrific situation they find themselves in, there is excessive lingering on their bodies.
Would have been better as a movie, and it wouldn't be a good movie.

Maybe I would, but this book doesn’t sell it at all. Also, there’s NO RUINS. That just makes me annoyed, they’re mentioned but never actually a plot point in the book at all.
I did cringe (positively) at some of the stuff that happened, but even the body horror wasn’t that good. It wasn’t convincing or compelling enough for me to be grossed out- I can’t feel/enjoy the main attraction of this book. I would rate it lower but I enjoyed parts of it.
