If you love and appreciate hip hop and you have a thing for analog horror and VHS tapes, you’ll enjoy the ride that is Bullet Tooth. 

Bullet Tooth is a villainous creature that thrives on pain, violence and chaos. He comes when he’s summoned and he’s just been called to the hood of Chicago. 

We have 3 main characters, who are 3 different paths in life yet they have each been brought together by the wrath of Bullet Tooth. 

This book does have some heavy topics so check these trigger warnings: suicide, death off page, gore, gun violence, attempted SA. 

The author does an amazing job of really pulling you in and making you feel like this could all be real. While I did  have some issues with one of the characters and the ending seems to go at light speed compared to the rest of the book, I found myself invested in the story and wanting to see how these characters make it through. 

I also wanted a little more bullet tooth. We got one chapter that touched on his back story and it’s actually my favorite chapter. I would love a little more of seeing how he operates in his element. 

All in all, I enjoyed how the author took very real, present day issues and married them with horror so seamlessly. This was my first time reading Grant Wamack and it won’t be my last.
