Wickedly gross
Warning: do not read while eating rice (learned this the hard way)
Also, where the hell does Simon McHardy come up with his ideas? I’d love to know, in a morbid sense of love. Anyways, i I’m not sure how to put my feelings and thoughts about this book into words, other than wtf did I just read?
Highly recommend if you love being grossed out, have a warped sense of romance, and just enjoy the f*cked up sides of life.

the slob 1 & 2: we're the grossest books you've ever read
dead inside: no i am the grossest book
mother maggot: hold my beer
why do i read books like this??? WHY DO I LIKE BOOKS LIKE THIS???? i mean it was alright. i've never said "what the fuck is this book?" this many times as i read this book. it was disgusting, vile and sometimes quite funny and it's VERY extreme. if you're not into that kinda thing DO NOT READ IT.

SICK, TWISTED AND FUCKED UP. I have never laughed so hard as I have while reading this Damn book 😂😂😂. This book is WILD. Seriously, A HUMAN MAGGOT!!! 🤣 Here I was thinking there cannot be anything more fucked up than COWS by Matthew Stokoe and then Mr McHardy comes up with this masterpiece. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It's an experience all by itself. 4 (rotten minced meat lathered ) stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I had to read MOTHER MAGGOT because I kept seeing it getting banned from various retail platforms. What could be so vulgar and disgusting about this book that the powers that be refused to sell it? I had to find out and find out I did.
MOTHER MAGGOT lives up to its reputation. A story of the most extremely disgusting sexual fetishes that culminates into a battle of the ultimate revo,ting sexual desires. I've read many books of this ilk. I could hang with the gross out scenes. But, word to the wise, this book is a literary double dog fare. If you take the date you just may find you can't handle it. But if extreme gross out horror is your thing, step right up and take the MOTHER MAGGOT challenge.
All the cool kids are doing it.

Okay. So, two stars. It is a explicit, grotesque, disgusting book, and that is exactly what I was looking for, but, at some point, it felt more like a sexual fantasy (a poor one) badly executed. I imagine this is what some teenagers could write if they though that rape was hot and had never talk to a woman.
The poor raiting is for that: The rape scences are made to be enjoyed by both the author and the reader, as some kind of turn on, and Its such a cheap tool to use in extreme horror. You can use rape to move the story, but dont just include it because it turns you on, expecially when it has nothing to do with the story.

Eddie has Elvis good looks, but his mind is filthier than the King’s own toilet bowl after a week-long binge on peanut butter and banana sandwiches. His vile sexual fetishes lead him down a rabbit hole of perversity culminating in a romance with Abby, a maggot-human hybrid with an appetite for human flesh. Their criminal romance makes the antics of Mickey and Mallory Knox look wholesome. Perhaps only one thing stands in their way – a necrophile detective almost as sordid as they are.
This is hands-down the most viscerally disgusting book I’ve ever read. It’s also hilarious. Virtually every page made me want to laugh, vomit, or both. The first chapter was so utterly vile I had to put the book down for a while and work up the courage to come back to it. This is coming from a guy who can read Edward Lee and eat seafood linguini simultaneously. If you’re easily shocked or offended don’t even touch this book, unless you want to be traumatized for life. But if you’re the sort of person with a black sense of humour and a penchant for the grotesque and the perverse, odds are you will love this book. It’s not just sickening and funny, it’s also well-written, with sleek but muscular prose. Easily one of my top splatterpunk reads of all time.
