I feel like an attempt for splatterpunk was made but it just wasn’t that gruelling or terrorising - some of the plot points became extremely obvious very quickly which kind of detracted from the read. If you’re keen on gory horror this’ll tick some boxes but don’t let “extreme” be the sell point because it really wasn’t that bad.

It needs about 3-4 pages of content warnings as this book can be very triggering.

While "Woom" is not for the faint of heart due to its graphic content and disturbing themes, it is a compelling read for fans of dark fiction. Ralston's ability to evoke a visceral reaction is impressive, making this book a memorable, albeit unsettling, experience. A solid four-star read for those who appreciate horror that pushes boundaries and challenges the psyche.
