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.

I'm still kind of shell shocked by it!
Vague Summary:
A man has a dark connection to a motel room.
It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm dipping my toes into extreme horror, so I was a little nervous about what to expect from this book. It absolutely did NOT disappoint!
It left me disturbed and unsettled, but not disgusted and I was able to easily finish it. It definitely had the effect of a good horror movie! (I'm more knowledgeable about horror movies and more extreme horror movies than I am books)
If you want to be unsettled, disturbed, left feeling a little weird, and unsure what to do with yourself after reading, then this book is for you!
I've already saved book 2 on Kindle unlimited!
