Bizarre! I wouldn't say this was extreme horror unless you find sexual stuff and body fluids horrifying (though I'll give that the bathtub scene and the prom night scene would probably fall into the horror side of things). Angel was a strangely sympathetic character even though his final act was completely vile and if I was Shyla I 100% would've left at that point. A strange sort of character study into a broken psyche, I guess. Deff check out the CW if you're concerned because there's a lot of things in here that won't set right with a lot of people.

The writing is too good for the content to be so stupid! Potentially I don’t understand extreme horror, it’s so predictable if you’re capable of imagining the next disgusting thing that could happen.

Spoiler

Cramps after putting heroin in your gf’s vagina? Overdose miscarriage!
Anal sex? Messy prolapse!
Into masturbating with a mannequin? Make a dude into a mannequin by sanding his dick off! 
Having a sex worker dilate her vagina when you have mom issues? Stick your head up there for rebirthing!

These are all predictions I made while reading the opening premise of chapters that came true by their end. I might try another book by this author just to see if they have ever tried more compelling subject matter.

it reminded me of a story a high school boy would write to try and get a reaction out of his teacher. predictable and gross just for shock factor. my only positive comment is that there was no animal abuse. PLEASE please check trigger warnings before you read this though!!
