Dead Bad Things by Gary McMahon
1.0
horrible, awful book. Not because it was scary or gross or confronting (it wasn't really any of those). Just a horrible, bad book. Funny in the way horribly bad things are sometimes, but that's all. I saved notes and highlighted "special" bits on the Kindle app, but it feels like kicking a puppy to belabour it. Loads of people love this author, I just- don't.
If you want to read something that hits the mark this so aspires to, try old-school King, from when he was whacked out on coke and writing well, try Clive Barker at his most freaked-out and horrifying. Try Dan Simmons- maybe 'Carrion Comfort' as a start. But do not bother with this dreck.
