Is A Machine For Pigs best suited to a 'mature' audience?

[Alardem]

A Machine For Pigs has plenty of gore and moments designed to make you jump - as evidenced by a certain inexplicably popular Swede - but the lingering sense I'd gathered from it was a subtle, lingering dread. Part of me wishes I'd heard or seen some of the events alluded to in the text (like the transformation of the Pigs), but the environmental design and the historical context of the story appeals to a different part of me.

I could relate to the evil of capitalist oppression, aristocratic snobbery and the confusing nature of industrial environments much better than I could to a pseudo-medieval castle belonging to a lost relative of Dracula.
