There is no hand-holding in this novel. The author throws you right into the story and the reader is challenged to hold on for the ride. There is a lot of gore in this book, but hey it's called Viscera so don't think you haven't been warned. Worth the read. ( )
Strange, bloody, dare I say...visceral story of a motley assortment of messed up people who band together after trying to kill each other in a disturbingly bloody world. The characters are fascinatingly awful and relatably human, the worldbuilding is intriguing and the plot pulled me through the book even when I was cringing at what was going to happen next. Multiple trans characters were very welcome to see as well ( )
