Kritikerstimmen

I was enticed from the first line (Oyinkan Braithwaite, author of My Sister, the Serial Killer)
An outstanding debut... Violent, smart, gruesome and wildly original
Darkly funny (Fern Brady, author of Strong Female Character)
Visceral, disgusting, glorious. I love this book and every character in it. Monika Kim's sentences are superb, and I was riveted and nauseated from the very first page (CJ Leede, author of Maeve Fly)
An inventive, terrifying tale of misogyny, Asian fetishisation, and cannibalism
Obsessive, grotesque and never predictable, this is a horror debut to sink your teeth into (Emily M. Danforth, author of The Miseducation of Cameron Post)
Smartly written...A fun and nasty debut with real edge to it. A promising calling card from a writer to watch
Utterly fantastic, female revenge horror at its finest. Perfect for readers of Tender is the Flesh
Monika Kim has written a novel that every library needs to own
A new voice in horror... Gripping
Incredibly readable... Kim has delivered an entertaining and gruesome romp on female rage

Im very desensitised to horror, so for me it was just a fun ride, but for example for my mum this would be her living nightmare, because she's often had dreams about eyes and teeth growing all over her body. Even though this one is about eating eyes, and obviously so much more, my point still stands. It was descriptive, it had a main character with slight delusions, it had a maddeningly angering man, of which I hoped he'd get his karma, which also kept me engaged on top of everything else, and that made it very exciting to me. I read it in one day, basically one sitting, actually. I loved the family, even though the mum did make me angry, whilst I still felt for her. And damn, that one man had it coming. If you know, you know. And the other one, too.😉

Really enjoyable read

Die Sprecherin lispelt was sehr ablenkend ist. Der Inhalt ist auch weniger Horror und mehr aus interpersonelle Beziehungen ausgelegt

ok
