I think the aim of this book was to make the reader feel very uncomfortable and it certainly succeeded

3.0

short read. got progressively more disturbing and depraved. Only thing stopping me from a higher rating is how fucked up everything in this is. Not a fan of fetish porn as horror

kermitdafrog's review against another edition

3.5

Room 6 has seen many many a horror in its day. And as predictable as the ending is, it leaves you waiting for the room to see that one more act of violence. I was just sitting there waiting for her to realize his true intent the whole time. The stories do seem a bit shock for shock's sake, but it's an engaging and short enough read that's that's not too bad a thing. Not for the weak stomached, but that comes with the genre.
