gorbon's review against another edition

dark tense fast-paced

4.25

Pay attention to the trigger warning at the beginning as well as the warnings posted here. This book is not for the squeamish. 

Disturbing, disgusting, discomforting Eric LaRocca pulls no punches. However, at the center of this novella in pieces is love in its rawest, most depraved state.
