I don't think I can adequately describe how gross this book was, it's most definitely not safe for human consumption.

No amount of brain bleach will remove the horrors of this book from my mind, truly disgusting and I honestly have no idea what is wrong with Mr Ralston. 

A play on room/womb womb is a single room horror story, a man brings a overweight sex worker to a pay by the hour motel room and he starts telling her more and more depraved and disgusting stories, she in turn tells him some horrible stories of her life and clients, culminating in one of the weirdest endings I have ever read. 

This book made me question what the heck I just read.

I like how everything connected but there's more to 'extreme horror' than just poo and vaginas
