kimis's review against another edition

wouldn't call it so much horror as torture porn. the set up was a little confusing, especially at first, and the mystery of trying to figure out exactly what was going on isn't to me interesting enough to be worth having to dig through another 150 or so pages of what promised to be much of the same (which so far was limited to reading about a potentially underage boy being abused, raped and mutilated over and over again by a series of disgusting men).
