picked this up because a youtuber recommended it and said it was super extreme. it was certainly gross! gratuitously so! no point to it at all! the incel writing style made this a hard one to get through but it’s so short that i trudged through. even if it’s splatterpunk satire, the “i’m edgy and different” vibes were too much

this is just like. shock factor porn for edgy incels. i wanted it to be more because i’m so desensitised and want something that will make me recoil and uncomfortable, and while the subject matter itself is enough to do that the writing is just so.. cringey? (“so I figured I’d bite the bullet and just do it, Nike-style” LIKE CMON) and i hate that word. i don’t know. this could have been so fucked up and engaging but instead it was just fucked up and embarrassing. so many of the positive reviews for this book stem from ‘well it’s fucked up and appalling because that’s the point!’ yes we know, but that doesn’t mean we don’t also deserve good writing and an actual plot over just the same gore porn for however many pages. extreme horror can be good! this is unfortunately not an example of that.

Tiktok once more influenced this read and purchase, mostly to see if it was really as bad as people said it was. The cringe dialogue supposedly written by an edgey high schooler, the gore for the sake of shock and how extreme it can get cus it can, and people wanting Chandler Morrison to be on a watchlist and his internet search looked upon.
Besides all that, this is my first step into the splatterpunk genre, though I am the kind of person who watched the Hills have Eyes movies, and all of the SAW films so I can say that - while some stuff was creative I wasn't that affected by it in the want to go to church to confess my sins and or hurl over what I read.
What the hell is this book about? We have unamed security guard (that is never named so I ended up calling him Nick for a while) is a necrophiliac whom meets a maternity ward doctor who eats dead babies - and is higher than a kite, something you find out early on. So these two meet, and it's security guard having to now deal with another human living being that is honestly after reading it all is captivated by him cus he doesn't give a shit on wanting to be "normal" as Helen - our doctor - wants to be and something might bloom there, but he'll be damned if he does. It's a one sided love story on Helen's end and our security guard wanting nothing to do with it, seeing suffer was entertaining to say the least.
I'll be honesty, I ended laughing more than getting grossed out as it somewhat reminded me of the Evil Dead (2013) movie for some odd reason. But anyway, is the dialogue cringey? Sure, our security guard has a lot to say and is pretty apathetic overall that can get real old real fast. Is the gore for the sake of shock and how extreme it can get cus it get - absolutely. Should Chandler Morrison be on a watchlist, I don't know. A lot of people generally seem to dislike this book either due to its subject or they just dislike the writing, which makes me wonder for Morrisons other books as they have better ratings.

There was a lot of potential for character development but this book was written for (tasteless) shock value.  Repetitive scenes and a wannabe edgelord.
