First time poster, I got this book for Christmas this year and was excited to read it. My expectations were high and the beginning caught my attention –
but then quickly fell apart.
This has to be one of the worst books I’ve ever read. Not only is it not scary, but it’s repetitive, nauseatingly saturated with ham-fisted God symbolism/imagery ( 2 out of 3 stories feature a literal crucifixion), and borderline incomprehensible at times.
Some highlights:
– Tapeworm pregnancy/birth ????
– Smashing a salamander with a rock for kink reasons
– Being a sex pest at work and getting fired for it
– Predatory lesbian stereotype
– ‘Science has proven there is no afterlife, mass suicides follow!’
– Cheating on your husband with an Angel who may or may not also be your husband’s estranged son
– A literal crucifixion
– Body horror…..kind of….but stupid
– ghosts????
– A guillotine in some freak old man’s attic
I don’t know man. I just had to get this off my chest. I don’t know WHO told this author his stories were worth telling but they lied.
0/10 would not recommend. Maybe 4/10 for being so batshit insane I spent over and hour picking apart and laughing at this piece of shit with my BFFs.
