Thank you to NetGalley and the book’s publisher for the ARC of this fantastic book
Someone please go check on Craig Davidson/Nick Cutter…this man is out of his mind and has crafted an absolutely gooey, crunchy, nerve shattering, horrifying and hilarious piece of body horror!! He is obviously a big fan of and is being inspired by horror classics like David Cronenberg’s version of The Fly and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Reader be warned, this book is definitely not for the faint of heart as some of the body horror descriptions are intensely graphic.

It’s hard to talk about the plot without giving away spoilers or key plot details, so you can just read the description on GoodReads or whatever your book website of choice happens to be. I am a huge fan of this author and tend to enjoy his work as Craig Davidson more as his writing is truly beautiful, even when the subject matter is bleak. However, I absolutely love that he uses his Nick Cutter pseudonym to put to paper every gross idea and circumstance that pops into his brain. If you’ve read The Troop or any other of his Cutter novels, you should know what you’re getting yourself into.

I had an absolute blast reading this one, so I am giving it an honest 5 stars. The writing is great, the characters are fun and it is a gory and pus filled good time! Pre-order this bad boy ASAP!

For those who like horror this is the book for you. I was expecting more mystery and suspense when I started reading this book - a missing friend - I found horror and gore. It was a well written book that will be enjoyed by those into horror and the supernatural

Nick Cutter is back! This book is amazing! While it was very similar to The Troop due to being about an insect/ parasite like organism taking over human hosts it still does enough different to feel new and is entertaining and scary as all hell. Plus it has gut churning moments of body horror to boot.

The national bestselling author of #HorrorBookTok sensation The Troop returns with a heart-pounding novel of terror about a young woman searching for her missing friend and uncovering a shocking truth.

This one was definitely a bit different than The Troop or The Deep. Even so I liked the weirdness and all the plot twists Cutter throws at us. Not his best work, but still a fun creepy thriller by one of the new masters of horror:)
