kermitdafrog's review against another edition

3.5

Room 6 has seen many many a horror in its day. And as predictable as the ending is, it leaves you waiting for the room to see that one more act of violence. I was just sitting there waiting for her to realize his true intent the whole time. The stories do seem a bit shock for shock's sake, but it's an engaging and short enough read that's that's not too bad a thing. Not for the weak stomached, but that comes with the genre.

dark funny fast-paced

3.25

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.

Disturbingly dark. Not at all what I expected — but heinous nonetheless. This nontraditional tale of horror will definitely fuck up your brain.

Had a mix of humor and horror. I had to put the book down at one chapter, which was arguably worse than the others (aside from the ending). You definitely need a strong stomach for this one, but it wasn’t as horrific as I thought (still VERY horrific, though.)
