OH MY GODDDD.... That was.... That's What I would call a (beautiful ???) fucked up story. Ok let me rephrase that. THAT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FUCKED UP STORY I HAVE EVER READ. It's on the same level of fucked-upness as Cows and Dead inside. Probably more!! But it's beautiful and has an immaculate ending which will blow your brain out of your nostrils.

In this short novel we follow a sweet gentleman named ANGEL and an equally sweat lady named SHYLA as they discuss some stories with each other in ROOM 6 of lonely motel. 

I lOVED this novel( or short story collection???) This one is not for the faint of heart. It has tons of triggers and I was thinking of DNFing this book after I read the second chapter. But I pushed through this one and I am happy I did. The ENDING WAS THE BEST PART OF THIS NOVEL. It brought everything in place and answered all my questions. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend this for fans of extreme horror genre. 4 absolutely disgusting, filthy, Brain liquifying stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

What an utterly stupid piece of trash. Bending and twisting the female anatomy to fit his sick imagination. The whole time I was reading, I wasn't disgusted by the gore, but by the stupidity of the scenes. This book was clearly written by a man who never touched a woman. He has no idea about the difference between a vagina and uterus. The "plot" made me cringe so hard that I was grinding my teeth. This is not horror. It's an abomination of a male fantasy.
