This book was a collection of trigger warnings in the worst way possible.  Needless to say I read through all it.

This was just disgusting. There’s no other way to put it. I get extreme horror and splatterpunk, but this is neither. It is clearly a cry for help from the author. I don’t know what kinda help is needed but some is required. I regret spending an hour on this book. I genuinely don’t know what posses someone to write something like this. I mean if just downright disgusting snuff books are your cup of tea then this takes the cake. But for us average joes, this is putrid. I don’t even want this on my self.

This is by far the worst book I’ve ever read. It is not good at all. Anyone who says otherwise needs serious help. While the writing is somewhat decent, the content is absolutely deranged and bring a bad reputation to horror as a genre. The writer should be on a watchlist somewhere, there’s no excuse for a fantasy such as this other than pure untapped (as far as I’m aware) evil. 


On a less academic note, I had to hug my mom for an hour after reading this. Not in a funny “ha-ha this book should be a horror reading challenge” but in a serious “this triggered me in a way that antidepressants cannot combat” kind of way. Terrible. Can’t rate it low enough.

I saw on FB that it was in fact such a hard book to read even if it's 70 pages. I especially saw a Pic of the trigger warning in the middle of the book and said "eh can't be that bad" it was in fact THAT BAD. It got 5 stars just cause it got me 😂
