Trigger Warning: Written by a Pisces
If you feel some sort of jealousy for not being one of the few who read the original, do better. But also, know that this new version is truly also improved. The major beats are there, but with what some people would probably call "Classic Phrique humor and wit" (it's me, I'm some people), Phrique added a lot of depth to this story. Also, I feel like it made me more nauseous this time around, which is good in this genre. Infection and body horror combine to make a twisted book baby for a good cause in this one, and it will be on my list of recommendations for the foreseeable future. Plus, I'm a sucker for degloving in stories, and you should be too.
