I was drawn in on the promise of Extreme Horror, having recently read The Ruins and enjoying Eric LaRocca’s work, I thought it would be somewhere amongst that realm. 

I feel like an attempt for splatterpunk was made but it just wasn’t that gruelling or terrorising - some of the plot points became extremely obvious very quickly which kind of detracted from the read. If you’re keen on gory horror this’ll tick some boxes but don’t let “extreme” be the sell point because it really wasn’t that bad.
