my god, david sodergren writes with the subtlety of a brick through a window.

but once you get past the childhood memory demolition team you end up with an 84 year old woman fucking an old jellyfish she's convinced herself is her long-missing husband, so that's something

i suspect that a lot of the scariness of this book for some people is the amount of penis dissolving/exploding. sodergren's really honing in on the cock annihilation. because simply turning someone inside out and melting them isn't quite enough, you gotta be sure you let the reader know that includes the dick. every time.
