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.kellireadsstuff's review against another edition

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

Yes, there’s gore. Yes, there’s sex. Yes, there are shocking things! Was any of it done well? No.
There was no attempt at atmosphere and there were no vibes, so this didn’t even tip the scales of making me squeamish, or horrified. The main character sounds like he’s a little boy half the time. Even as satire, this just doesn’t have a lot to it. Where is the commentary? This is not a horror so much as an edgy comedy.
The prose was childish and some stylistic choices were annoying. Another reviewer summed it up perfectly:
This book is basically a teen edgelord trying to be edgy and shocking while broaching philosophical topics…The problem is the philosophy addressed is about as deep as a can of tuna…
If you want to read something for shock value’s sake with baby’s first examination of being a social outcast, fine. You do you. Check those trigger warnings and then check it out. But there’s not a whole lot going on here beyond a teenager’s edgy splatterpunk attempt at being deep. Go girl, give us nothing.
