Welcome to Litsy!

A short nicely disturbing read. I like my books with shock factors in it and this definitely gave me that. This is one of the hyped up books that lived to the title. I quite enjoyed it and it reminded me of a Japanese book called In the Miso Soup. Dark. 🤘🏻

“But I do think places, like this motel room, I think they hold on to bad things, the way people hold on to memories. Grief. Pain. Disease. Addiction.”

I wonder where this is going…🌚

Did I read it in one sitting? Yes. Would I recommend it to anyone? No. Go for it if you like extreme horror - all the trigger warnings possible. Haha - what a wild ride.

My first thought for dark on day 9 of the #scarathlonphotochallenge was baker.reads my favourite horror book TikTok creator who recommends some Very dark stuff.

🌟dipped my toe in extreme horror to see what all@the controversy surrounding this sub-genre is all about. YouTube wars between an author and YouTube reviewer. Well, thank goodness this was short. I love horror, but don‘t need to be grossed out. Nothing scary about it. Cheap thrills. But cool for those that do. Not for me, first and last one.

So, ok. Here‘s the thing. This book…I just. I mean like, it‘s a thing. I didn‘t hate it. I think I liked it. I knew where it was going pretty early on, but I thought “let‘s do this.” It‘s definitely extreme horror, so all the trigger warnings. What the title really stand for, what it‘s deeper meaning is…very cool.

Well sh!t. Ok. That was something alright. I'm gobsmacked so I guess that means it's a "pick". I definitely wouldn't say I liked it, and definitely would not recommend it to anyone. Um yeah ...

I love a good disturbing book but this.. this was beyond…. Just nasty… do not be intrigued and add it to your tbr.. don‘t waste your time…

Well written, strangely emotional, and completely weirdly disgusting. Definitely the most disturbing book I‘ve read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thanks but no thanks... this was super extreme, super graphic, super sexual and SOO not my cup of tea. I kind of knew I wasn't going to make it through but I decided to try anyway. Huge fail... I'm not discounting Ralston's work, though, because I've loved several of his books!

This was pretty bizarre and gross. I definitely think extreme horror is NOT my jam.

Um…definitely should have been prepared for that

What in tarnation did I just read?

🤯

Horror has always been the genre I read and gravitate towards the most. I have tip toed in a few extreme horror books the past year, but nothing really prepared me for words in this book. It‘s not a bad book by any means.. I just feel like I should have been a little more prepared.

The stories connected together in a way I wasn‘t expecting. The chapter “woom” almost made me cry. Almost. But otherwise I didn‘t find it scary or suspenseful. Some parts did make me cringe which I guess counts?? Super quick read. I got more than what I was expecting out of this but no scares for me. It‘s not for people who are easily grossed out by gore though. So it‘s a so-so
