A review by myweereads
Red Room: The Antisocial Network by Ed Piskor

4.0

“I’m just looking to make you a little uneasy, to freak you out a little bit, and if I have to resort to some gross—outs to get the results I want, you’ll clearly see that I’m not above that in the very least.”

I happened to be in Forbidden Planet looking at the new releases and this one stood out to me. I mean the graphics are pretty disgusting yet you cant look away. That is exactly how I would describe very page in this graphic novel.

This volume collects four stories which overall connect in the most gross possible way. The idea is that in the dark web there exists a series of videos known as the Red Room videos. These are highly sought after as they consist of the most brutal and depraved acts carried out on people. The viewers of these videos have their favourite serial killers and tune in on specific days to see them give their best performance.

It does sound unbelievably sick and that is the best way to describe this volume. The stories do connect and create an overall image of a dark world one can only imagine exists. I love horror so this was a pretty messed up read.

The graphics are very explicit and practically every trigger warning possible applies here. With that in mind this may not be for everyone but I impose you to give it a go
