I'd consider myself a horror veteran, and this book is atrocious. It's not gruesome. It's not disgusting. It's not scary. It's painfully unimaginative, poorly written, and the literary equivalent of shock art with none of the shock or the artistry. The writing and plot itself are something a 14 year old would put together. There's no depth in the exploration of its topics, nor the emotions of characters, nor their relationships. It amounts to nothing more than "wouldn't it be fucked up if this happened?" with no further elaboration or real thought put into it. Unbelievably disappointing read.

Thought this was either badly written or the publishing company made a balls up of it because there's so much bad grammar and even spelling mistakes in the book; it's like it was written by a teenager.
The plot is very thin and straightforward, I guess I wanted to read this one because of the cover; it felt like I'd be reading something forbidden.
There's a few bits that have shock value which are disgusting, disturbing and gory.
If you like grisly, poorly written and repetitive horror then it’s for you.
