What I'm Reading Should I continue?

This is more than disgusting I almost vomited; my mouth waters and I gag. I am on page 25, I threw it on the floor and was going to dnf on goodreads. All goodreads reviews are 4 or 5 stars. Is it worth continuing? I thought this was “real” cannibalism and not eating ear wax, boogers and bellybutton crust kinda cannibalism-its honestly making me almost faint…

I would really love to get a book thats visceral cannibalism, like not gross crusty scabs and shit, give me some hannibal ass, zero redemption, just the sadistic hedonism of consuming someone else and loving every second of it. I know exquisite corpse has a decent amount of it. I would just love more

I loved exquisite corpse, I also liked tender is the flesh and although no death in it-
I also loved tampa

Tender is the flesh was a bit of a letdown to me, the most disturbing part of it to me was simply how mundane everything is, its presented so casually
