Pro(lapse)- Johnny casts Juicy, drug dealer, in a gangbang porno. Candy's ass is filled with fake blood that she sprays all over Juicy. *Angel starts stretching out Shyla's pussy.

Woom- Mary Booker attempts a clothes hanger abortion, she slips and kills herself instead. *Angel has rhoticism 'bweak' 'woom'. Shyla has an extra deep vagina due to trauma.

Room 6 has seen many many a horror in its day. And as predictable as the ending is, it leaves you waiting for the room to see that one more act of violence. I was just sitting there waiting for her to realize his true intent the whole time. The stories do seem a bit shock for shock's sake, but it's an engaging and short enough read that's that's not too bad a thing. Not for the weak stomached, but that comes with the genre.

if you were on the internet at the height of shock sites, this book probably won't phase you much. there were some parts of it that made me physically wince a little bit, but it's not near the disturbing mess that i'd been told it was.

however, i do think it's pretty funny at parts, and decently written. i think both leads were interesting characters, and it made me wish the novel was just *slightly* longer, if only to give more breathing room for their respective personalities and eccentricities. honestly, the shortness is what keeps it from being a 4 star to me. 

overall though, if you're squeamish this won't be for you.

seriously, don't read this if you're easily disturbed. but also, if you do read this, don't be surprised by the content. it's transgressive fiction/extreme horror for a reason.

Bizarre! I wouldn't say this was extreme horror unless you find sexual stuff and body fluids horrifying (though I'll give that the bathtub scene and the prom night scene would probably fall into the horror side of things). Angel was a strangely sympathetic character even though his final act was completely vile and if I was Shyla I 100% would've left at that point. A strange sort of character study into a broken psyche, I guess. Deff check out the CW if you're concerned because there's a lot of things in here that won't set right with a lot of people.

This…was not good. It wasn’t even horror. It was just weird sexual violence and a guy with serious mommy issues. It didn’t succeed in horrifying or disturbing me, it just kind of made me confused as to why a human would write this.

It’s really hard to review this book because I feel as thought the storylines are largely based on female experiences (which are written by a cis white man). I will say the book does a good job of creating plot twists and tying the stories together. I would not recommend this book to those that do not read about the trigger warning or to those unprepared for a story of extreme horror and pain.
