It needs about 3-4 pages of content warnings as this book can be very triggering.

It follows a random dude who pays a sex worker to "stretch" the limits of her capabilities and whilst doing this, he regales her with the mystic symbolism of the motel room they're in and weaves together increasingly more depraved stories of things that have happened in said motel room.
The biggest let down of this book? The title. I saw the finale of the book before there were ever really any hints dropped and though I've never read anything like this and probably won't again, sometimes, as if often the case with extreme horror, originality doesn't always rule the day.
Two and a half stars. It's well written, with three dimensional characters and even though it's pretty short, it still managed to pack a punch and leave an after burn in my brain for a few days.

I’d seen this book being spoke about a lot on tiktok, but i didn’t actually know what the plot was, so i was rather curious to see what the hype was about and yeah, yikes. This was so disturbing in the best way. I physically recoiled whilst reading certain lines, and i’m gonna have some images burned into my brain for far too long. This definitely earns its title of extreme horror.
I highly recommend checking trigger warnings and make sure you have a strong stomach before reading this
