Woom: An Extreme Psychological Horror Novel by Duncan Ralston

3.0
I was a little dissappointed, maybe? I had seen so many people talk about the Main Point of the book and was waiting and waiting... And waiting..... For it to just be over in a page or two? (I feel like the story about Andy deserves perhaps more attention?)
I also found the part about everything always happening in room 6 extremely unbelievable. The same motel would've been perfectly creepy as well. It just seems too unlikely.
Giving this 3 stars just because I do enjoy extreme horror and if I had no critical thinking skills this would've been really good.
Lastly, why do white men feel like they need to portray black characters like... That? Just be normal about it. I feel like he was made black just so Duncan could type out the n-word. White man behaviour.

however, i do think it's pretty funny at parts, and decently written. i think both leads were interesting characters, and it made me wish the novel was just *slightly* longer, if only to give more breathing room for their respective personalities and eccentricities. honestly, the shortness is what keeps it from being a 4 star to me.
overall though, if you're squeamish this won't be for you.

seriously, don't read this if you're easily disturbed. but also, if you do read this, don't be surprised by the content. it's transgressive fiction/extreme horror for a reason.
