There are certain things you can expect from the genre so I came into this ready to be disturbed but at a certain point it felt more comedic and heavy handed.

4.5

The vicious violence actually serves a purpose in developing the characters. Especially the main character whose entire world view gets challenged as his relationship with the other main character becomes more intense. Extreme horror with substance.

i ended up actually really liking this. if you’re looking for splatterpunk, grossness. this book is for you. cannibalism and necrophilia (why isn’t there a content warning for that??) I was uncomfortable but I really liked it! also that twist??

i can’t in good conscious give it any higher but just know that it is actually pretty good.

I forced myself to finish this book. Every minute was painful and I almost genuinely (scouts honor) vomited on two occasions. Wanted to see if this type of horror was for me and I grossly underestimated how vile it would actually be. This story does not use its vile actions to further the plot, tell any meaningful story, create any suspense, or make any type of commentary. Truly regret reading this book. It had well written descriptions, don't get me wrong, with a story that was aware of how disgusting it was, but it was not something I enjoyed at all. I am a horror and thriller fan, but this is anything but. This is splatterpunk to the extreme. Reader beware. 

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.

No part of me feels that I can say this book deserves any stars. Fucking a dead baby is just something that I cannot get behind. Not even mentioned off hand, this sex act is VISCERALLY explained. There is no true justice or anything for this MC and it's very bleak and disgusting.

 

Dead Inside took me a little over two hours to read.

This is the most unhinged, terrible, vile, try hard, AWFUL book I have ever read. This book made me want to make a donation to the NSA and sign a petition for more government censorship. Somebody should check this guys computers and then we should lock him in a stockade and throw tar at him.

And none of this is in a funny way + I am not an oversensitive wimp who can’t handle ~gore~ 

I don’t know why you would write this (actually I do. It’s very clear this author thinks he has a deep and unique POV that we should all care about. And also hates women). There’s so much blatant misogyny and explicit glorification of rape I can’t believe any editor actually sat through the drafting process. 

There isn’t even some moody, obscure metaphor for this book to hide behind. It’s literally some dude penning his extreme taboo jack off tumblr fantasies about violating dead women (and children. And babies) (but only the hot ones) and existing “outside the system” while lusting after manic pixie dream girls
