AlixeTiir,

Bloody Spaghetti did a very good review. It covered most of what I wanted to say, but I will add a few points.

Gore isn't horror. Horror can have gore as a component, or not. Horror requires the slow build-up of tension. I don't feel that.

That "unknown almost Latin" language wouldn't stay unreadable for long. After a page or two, a good speaker of Latin would be able to figure out enough of the grammar elements and be able to separate nouns from verbs. Maybe not perfectly, but close enough. Even I know the title is saying something about reviving deformed fetuses and that last word means something on the lines of success, and I don't speak any Latin based languages except a little kitchen Spanish.

What highway was he on? The 10? The 40? He's going to know the road he is on and probably the town he went through last. So it being some place that can't be found doesn't make sense.

Was it a mix of dream elements? It sounds somewhat like that. You have to be careful with those. Dreams feel like they make sense, but often just don't.
