A review by bookbryn
The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix
1.0
if i were an objective reader this would probably be a higher rating (i can recognize that there are some interesting literary elements and it is an engaging narrative). however, i am not and this is my review so i am giving this deeply disturbing, horrifying, gory, sickening novel one star. i kinda wanna give it zero. but i’m factoring in that i did read the whole thing.
simply put, i wish i hadn’t read this book. the fact i finished it is a testament to the fact that it is a well constructed novel. but again, i was like genuinely disturbed by this book and i kinda am disturbed by the fact that someone came up with the events in this book to write about them?? it felt so excessively gory and horrifying beyond the horror plot. i would not recommend this book to anyone. safe to say, this set me right back onto my corny halloween series. i have another grady hendrix on hold at the library but trust that i will not be reading another of his novels out of compassion for my peace of mind. that is all, thank you.
