This was fun and gross and sometimes repetitive. I would honestly love to know the number of times the words shit, piss, urine and blood were used in this story. I get that it's grimdark and they want to set a gritty tone, but it was a bit much (for me at least). It was a cool idea and the characters were interesting. The parts with the demon were written in a poetic/stream of consciousness style that imo works better the shorter it is. As it was, it seemed to get very repetitive and if I wasn't listening to it on audio I probably would have skimmed it. I'll definitely be reading more Fletcher and Spark to see if I like their longer work.
