It needs about 3-4 pages of content warnings as this book can be very triggering.

It follows a random dude who pays a sex worker to "stretch" the limits of her capabilities and whilst doing this, he regales her with the mystic symbolism of the motel room they're in and weaves together increasingly more depraved stories of things that have happened in said motel room.
The biggest let down of this book? The title. I saw the finale of the book before there were ever really any hints dropped and though I've never read anything like this and probably won't again, sometimes, as if often the case with extreme horror, originality doesn't always rule the day.
Two and a half stars. It's well written, with three dimensional characters and even though it's pretty short, it still managed to pack a punch and leave an after burn in my brain for a few days.

I'm still kind of shell shocked by it!
Vague Summary:
A man has a dark connection to a motel room.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm dipping my toes into extreme horror, so I was a little nervous about what to expect from this book. It absolutely did NOT disappoint!
It left me disturbed and unsettled, but not disgusted and I was able to easily finish it. It definitely had the effect of a good horror movie! (I'm more knowledgeable about horror movies and more extreme horror movies than I am books)
If you want to be unsettled, disturbed, left feeling a little weird, and unsure what to do with yourself after reading, then this book is for you!
I've already saved book 2 on Kindle unlimited!
