(And just like May Lietz, Duncan Ralston writes intimate female body horror without knowing/understanding how our bodies function. My faaaaaaaave!)
White people shouldn't write the N word. That's not a controversial statement. You are a white man from fucking CANADA, Duncan. Have some decorum. You can be a creepy weirdo without breaking the cardinal rule of being a half-decent white person. Don't tell me the character is black so it's fine (one wasn't) or "it's supposed to be accurate," I read that fetus scene. You do not gaf about accuracy.
Just ugh. Bad. Fucking weird and unsatisfying. Like I've said before, I DO know what I'm getting into when I pick up extreme horror (....welllllll.... I guess not since I expect the authors to BE ABLE TO WRITE). I'm looking for some whack shit and bloody gutty nasty. This isn't even anything. I don't know what it's supposed to be. Word vomit.
Don't get me started on extreme horror authors and vomit. We'll be here for hours and I will still have more complaints. It's not even a GOOD description... It doesn't even serve a *purpose!!* .... I can't.
At least the writing is minutely better than Leitz. (Yes I use her as my point of reference for shit books now. Sue me.) MINUTELY. "Although not technically a 'pinhead,' he'd been called it several times by those lower on the evolutionary chain than himself." are not the words of a particularly talented author.
Bonus: leave fat women ALLOONNEE, freaks. They have been through enough!!
