I was not expecting anything about this book, it was so successful at shocking and surprising me.ĭisclaimer: This page contains affiliate links. This book took me, chewed me up, and spit me back out. I do that with most books I read so I thought I was safe. I started reading Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica and I had no concept or idea of what this book was about. So, when the content of this book actually shocked me, I didn’t know what to do with myself. I mean, being a zillennial (a millennial and generation z mix), I am pretty desensitized to most everything. Usually, I just assume that I can pick up any book and be totally fine with the content. So I would say that not a lot phases me when it comes to graphic or creepy detail. I watch horror films all year long and only recently started diving into horror novels. But have you ever read a book so disturbing and horrifying that you don’t know whether to rate it 5 stars or 1 star? That is exactly how I felt after reading Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica. Nothing beats cozying up to a book like this. Atmospheric and creepy books that give you chills are the best this time of year. October is definitely the time to read spooky books, this is obvious.
