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
