I knew what I was getting into with this one, but I still was incredibly grossed out. I mean the title says it all. Ranking this one lower than I do most splatterpunk I've read because I found the characters neither likeable nor smart in any capacity. The story had an interesting premise, but didnt really keep my interest (but I finished it cuz it's a very short read). This is a first read from this author and I'm probably unlikely to read more from them.

This book was WEIRD. It’s described as “extreme horror” and it very much is. It’s an interesting take on the dark web and a super quick read if you can stomach it. I personally have no known triggers so absolutely CHECK TW. I read things this graphic as a test to myself to see if I can handle it as a horror-enthusiast I do not recommend this book to anyone in any capacity but it was a good read.

This story made me realise I'm a huge fan of splatterpunk apparently.
The storyline was kind of cheesy at times, but it made up for it with the extremely graphic and brutal violence and gore. The torture scenes were wonderfully descriptive and creative, making this a bizarre and extremely enjoyable read!

Plot was boring. Characters were boring. The torture was intense. Never again...

I'm actually speechless. It's definitely one if a kind - gives off that Human Centipede and Srbian Film vibe. I'm not the biggest fan of gore and some of this was really shocking. I'm glad I read it, a shock to the system though. I do find the whole Dark Web really horrible and thinking that snuff films etc are real actually chills my blood. The boss character is also terrifying. I was actually getting heart palpitations at time reading what he was doing. I don't know I feel after it though so can't actually assign stars.
