Description
LA, 2028. Down-on-their-luck exterminator Sal Hernandez is sick of long hours, living in their work van, and ready to reconcile with their estranged partner. The only thing standing in their way is one last shift. What seems like a routine job is anything but, and when a proselytizing mass of flesh abducts Sal's newest coworker, Luke, an extermination job quickly turns into a rescue mission.
Freshly concussed from a pro-bono job earlier in the morning, for Sal, the line between reality and hallucination begins to blur. Sal and their teammates Molly and Hussam are as experienced as they come, but will it be enough to overcome the horrific creature that waits in the shadows and the incompetence of their boss?

This graphic novel was absolutely everything that I was looking for. It is a perfectly dark look at the way that we work jobs that we hate for longer than we should because change is scary whilst also being an incredibly dark and graphic horror story. The art reminded me a lot of the work of Junji Ito with just how horrifying it is and it paired so well with the very dry humour that was incredibly irreverent.
There were parts of the story that I didn't feel like I was following along with as easily as I would have liked but I think that was largely due to the format that I was reading and I will 100% be buying a copy and regularly returning to this story time and time again.
This is one of those stories that just happen to come into my life at exactly the right time as I relate so much with Sal (even down to the fact that we are both enby and 31!).
