Compelling and puzzling

I don't normally like horror, especially body horror, and there was plenty of it in this. However, the mystery kept me coming back. I wanted to know more about the Funhole.

Worth noting that the ebook version was really riddled with typos, but it kind of worked with the gradual unraveling of the protagonist's mental state.
