This is a hard one to rate, I did enjoy it and I think it does what it set out to do well. It is gross and definitely took me out of my comfort zone but overall was good read. It in my opinion a little predictable and there were parts at the end I wasn’t as big a fan of. If you like more extreme horror I think this is a good and quick read.

EXTREME HORROR BOOK NOT FOR UNDER 18S!!!
What a messed up little book this is. Angel is tell an escort stories whilst doing sexual things to her . Each story is horrid but the intrigue keeps you wanting more. A story of drugs, abortion, dismemberment, and other very grotesque happenings. Not to be read if queezy themes are a no

Idk how to rate this.

As a licensed therapist and having worked with a lot of clients with heavy and complex trauma, I hear some fucked up shit. The stuff in this book barely phased me in all honesty. I know what people are capable of and then some.

The difficulty with rating it is: the writing itself was good. The trauma porn of POC is not and is honestly offensive.

When you look at it from a strict psychological perspective, this story really does show how easily the world and our experiences in it shifts and alters our thought processes. And in that way, this book was good. 

Outside of that? Yeah….. idk. 

And the content warnings are for real and should be listened to if you aren’t accustomed to this kind of content whether in reading/other media or by exposure because you help others with their traumas (such as being a therapist. Which means I should probably talk to MY therapist about why this book didn’t phase me….)

Is it wrong of me to like it? Maybe. But I did like it.
The book is basically just a trauma-porn about broken people but elevated to the extreme. I couldn't for the life of me look away from the pages, so captivating and horribly bizzare the content was.
I guessed the ending 50-60 pages in, but I've watched (and loved to bits) Gozu by Takashi Miike, so it was the least shocking thing to me in this whole book.
Read all the trigger warnings carefully. They are here and they are very real.

Angel goes to Room 6 at The Lonely. He calls dispatch for a heavyset escort, Shyla. He tells her these stories.

Cram(ps)- Johnny & Jenny. She gets hooked on heroin after their first time. They are forced to be drug mules to cover Jenny's debt. She dies after a bag breaks inside her.  

Pro(lapse)- Johnny casts Juicy, drug dealer, in a gangbang porno. Candy's ass is filled with fake blood that she sprays all over Juicy. *Angel starts stretching out Shyla's pussy.

Woom- Mary Booker attempts a clothes hanger abortion, she slips and kills herself instead. *Angel has rhoticism 'bweak' 'woom'. Shyla has an extra deep vagina due to trauma. 

(S)Mother- Shyla had a previous client that liked to be smothered. She sat on a box over is head. Angel was reborn using the Evergreen Method. He's rolled up into a rug and has to fight his way out. 

Man(nequin)- Bethany Chastain lived in the basement with one of her mother's art pieces, a mannequin. She uses him as a sounding board, first kiss, and first sexual experience. She gets her first boyfriend at 17. Belt-sanded his penis off. 

(Still)Born Again- Reveals that he was the man in all these stories. Offers Shyla a 'weset button'. A 'miwacle' reverse birth.
