5 stars. No, 6 stars.
This book had me feeling things that I can’t even describe. It is difficult to read. It’s hard being in Cranes head as he goes through the pregnancy because it speaks to me so much as a trans man. I know I would feel exactly the same way as Crane. The despair, the discomfort and anxiety. That’s what makes this a great horror book.
I absolutely adored Crane as a character. I saw so much of myself in him and he’s a character that I won’t ever forget. He has so many good lines and moments. Easily one of the best characters in written history. They could never make me hate you, Crane.
The moments near the end, I’m so thankful I finished it at home because I was audibly gasping and talking to myself through that gripping end scene. It’s visceral and insane but it was everything I ever wanted.
This book in general had everything I could’ve ever wanted from a book. Deep character exploration, characters you love to hate, creepy worms, trans horror that makes you want to rip your skin off your body, just.. perfect.
also hearing that the hive has a crazy voice on audiobook?? That’s just compelling me to buy the audiobook for myself lol. I put off this book for sometime even though I knew it would be an all time favourite. Why do I do this to myself?? I could’ve experienced this beauty of a book sooner.
