The writing is beautiful. But really read the trigger warning before. I already knew what I was going into.

I DNF’d this. It’s shocking just for the sake of being shocking with absolutely nothing else to offer. The MC is the biggest pick-me incel/edgelord known to mankind and I can’t shake the feeling that the author self-inserted here somewhat. 

How many times can a character repeat how dark and twisted, how different and not like anyone else he is you may ask? Apparently every other page. We get it. 

If you want a pile of misogynistic incel necrophilia fantasy then go right ahead. If you want splatterpunk/shocking books there are many out there that do it 100 times better. Don’t waste your time/money.

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.

I don't freaking know how to rate this thing because it's written well but it feels like forbidden literature. WTF WAS THAT?!!!! I had to skip a lot because I couldn't stomach the unfolding events involving babies but I couldn't stop because I kept thinking 'there has to be a point, right?!!!'

I need a day, no a year, off of whatever this is. 😭

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.
