Vermis is a book that I'll think about for weeks after reading it. I've been a fan of the artist Plastiboo for a while now so I got their book as soon as I could, assuming it would be basically an art book.
I don't want to give much away because I feel like this book is best experienced going in blind. I'd describe it as a blend of story and artwork presented as a game manual, which is sometimes so immersive you forget the game it's describing doesn't exist.
I'd especially recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Dark Souls, dungeon crawlers, and cryptid horror.
Pros
The artwork. I love Plastiboo's art so I was instantly in love with every page I saw.
The narrative. The writing is such a unique blend of game mechanics and story.
Cons
Some minor punctuation errors can be found throughout the book.
I don't want to blame the book for this but I think it should be mentioned that I experienced issues with receiving emails for my order from Hollow Press (customer service was fairly helpful though!)
