There are alot of things that can make a book bad, or at least make you hate it. Uselly those books get pushed away and only remembered as a warning to not read anything like it. Occasionally there will be a book that you identify as bad, yet you constantly find yourself thinking about it.
In my case that book is “the virgin killer” by Jon Stone, An obscure fantasy book I only bought because a YouTuber suggested it. The prose were not that great, the story and world building was a jumbled mess of muddled themes and plot threads that went nowhere. It was the worst book I have ever read, yet it never leaves my mind because of just how wierd it was.
The best way I can describe it is the novel equivalent of the poorly made slapstick comedies in the late 00s like disaster movie. Lobotomized centaurs, vivid description of a fishes genitals, a person dying on the street corner and immediately being cut up and sold as meat infront of a crowds eyes, all wild imagery that sticks in my mind despite me hating the book itself.
So what about yall, is there a book that was terribly written but against your best efforts you just want to talk about it, if so what is it?
