I made it 12%.

Trigger Warning for rape, torture, mutilation, child murder. Especially the beginning prologue. Absolutely brutal.

-->Describes a character as a lover of "Oriental food".
--> Fatphobic.
--> This fucking quote: "We drove north on I-10, past an outlet mall and on toward West Baton Rouge with its truck stops and gambling joints, its bars full of oil workers and, elsewhere, blacks. " ----REALLY?!?
-->That racist BS is followed by the most stereotypical "black swamp witch" passage I've ever had the misfortune to read.

Yeah, I'm fucking done.
