1.0

As someone who usually enjoys dark, taboo and gruesome books i was truly disappointed by this book.
Its not because it was uncomfortable but because of the poor writing.
The gore and disturbing scenes i can only see fulfill a purpose of being shock porn and nothing else, theres no point or meaning behind them. The writer is literally an angsty teenager who is “not like everyone else” and no one can tell me otherwise.

I was annoyed the whole time by his self inserts and the only reason why i read the whole thing  is cause im a completionist and its less than 200 pages.

1/5 (only cause its so bad that its funny at times), do not recommend.

Unless you are a a real extreme horror fan do not read. This is one of my favorite books but please keep in mind that something is me is broken and I haven't found a book yet that is a deal breaker yet.

BEFORE READING PLEASE read the fucking trigger warnings I swear to god, not exaggerating.

While I really enjoy fucked up books, this one just felt like the author took the worst things he could imagine, put them in a blender, swallowed it, and then vomited it into a book. And the worst part, is that it just felt cringy, like it was written by and edgy 16 year old. It's disgusting. It's annoying. 
I really believe it could have been a really good book if *certain* scenes weren't just shock value. 
Serously, read the trigger warning guys.

4.0

This book holds no punches. You are dropped almost immediately into the depravity and it doesn't really let up at all. The characters are deeply flawed and you're just an observer to the deeply disturbing stuff they get up to. 4 stars for great writing, 1 star off because holy heck.

I forced myself to finish this book. Every minute was painful and I almost genuinely (scouts honor) vomited on two occasions. Wanted to see if this type of horror was for me and I grossly underestimated how vile it would actually be. This story does not use its vile actions to further the plot, tell any meaningful story, create any suspense, or make any type of commentary. Truly regret reading this book. It had well written descriptions, don't get me wrong, with a story that was aware of how disgusting it was, but it was not something I enjoyed at all. I am a horror and thriller fan, but this is anything but. This is splatterpunk to the extreme. Reader beware. 

I feel incapable of currently giving this book any type of star rating, due to the how absolutely disgusting and vile the subject matter is.

No part of me feels that I can say this book deserves any stars. Fucking a dead baby is just something that I cannot get behind. Not even mentioned off hand, this sex act is VISCERALLY explained. There is no true justice or anything for this MC and it's very bleak and disgusting.

 

Dead Inside took me a little over two hours to read.
