This book was pretty sick to read but I really enjoyed it. I devoured this book (pun intended). With how morally horrible the two main characters were, I was surprised to actually find myself loving them. The dark humor and conversation between the two had me chuckling. Some (most) lines and scenes throughout had me audibly saying "what the fuck?" I think part of the appeal of this book to me was how incredibly outlandish everything felt.
Also, a special shoutout to reading yet another book set in Ohio. I've decided that I need to start a tally of horror books that choose Ohio as their origin.

The twist at the very end was whatever, but the scene that was supposed to be the most ~shocking and crazy~ has been done before so it didn't end up shocking me.

I feel incapable of currently giving this book any type of star rating, due to the how absolutely disgusting and vile the subject matter is.
Dead Inside took me a little over two hours to read.
