Limbs: a Love Story

By Tim Meyer 

“‘Don’t do anything stupid. Please?’
I winked at him.
Things were about to get really fucking stupid.”

4/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - a very tentative 4!

This book was not at all what I was expecting. The only thing I knew about it before going in was that it featured a chap with an amputee fetish. I think I was expecting a deep exploration of fetishism in general… Maybe an important message in there somewhere?  Boy, was I wrong. This was quick and gory shlock horror at its finest. It wasn’t particularly clever or funny, but I found myself unable to put it down, regardless. The main character and the love interest weren’t hugely likeable but this didn’t effect the reading experience. You’ll understand why if you read it! I instead found myself rooting for Percy and Wendy as they were way more awesome. Can we have a sequel with just them, please? 

The ending was a bit shit and predictable, keeping with the Grindhouse feel of the whole novel. @bees.horror.haunts and I were quickly able to think of two alternate endings which were much more interesting and creative!
