This was a foray into extreme horror, that I heard about back when it came out, but finally got around to. It's not for everyone, if the words extreme horror sound terrible to you you can move right along. those of you who like extreme horror, this really needs to be in the top 10. Edward Lee is well known because he knows what he's doing, the writing's good, it's actually kind of funny, if you can get over the incredibly gory aspects. however, it does make fun of backwater hillbilly types, so if that is not your bag, in similar veins as wrong turn and the hills have eyes if we're talking movies. so be aware of that if that's something that is troubling to you. So here's the deal, this was nasty, you had my get turning, and yet some of the conversations actually had me laughing because they were so ridiculous. But after reading Jack ketchum's introduction to the story, that seems to be Lee's kick, he likes to laugh, so I tried to keep my mind open while I was reading for that kind of humor. so if you're looking for it it's there, if you're looking to just be incredibly grossed out crack this one open.
