nemann19's review against another edition

• Loveable characters? No

This book was extremely perverted - not groundbreaking, daring, or any other adjective that could describe a decent work of fiction. It was beyond disturbing and nauseating, but not in the way you hope a horror book will be. This is the darkest and most vile form of humanity put into a book.

4.0

I started reading this with no prior knowledge of the plot line and grabbed it simply because the cover was "pretty." To say I was surprised would be a massive understatement. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting, but it wasn't what I got. With as pretty as this cover is, the story certainly is not. This story won't be palatable for many readers.

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.

challenging dark tense fast-paced

The content of this book gets sicker and sicker until pedophilia is introduced and that was the final straw. Totally disgusting content and not to my reading taste. Do not recommend.

5 star read for me. I would definitely read again. The writing is somewhat elementary but I actually think that adds to it. Gruesome and dark, definitely some fucked up shit in here. Loved it. Check the content warnings.
