Holy shit!
I've recently gotten into the Splatterpunk genre and I stumbled upon the "A Glimpse Into Hell" series by Wade H. Garrett while finding some potential audiobooks within the genre to listen to. Boy, was I in for a ride.
Now, I'm a big fan of over the top gore/horror movies like Hostel or the Terrifier series, but they PALE in comparison to having all of the details in a book. You can have bad writing in a book, but the special effects you create in your head can greatly outweigh what a movie can provide, especially a mainstream one.
The writing in this book helps to create the effects because of the detailed story writing. I've gotta take my cowboy hat off to Wade because this is one of the most detailed books I've ever experienced. And I say experience because, for my first splatterpunk book, this was an experience.
The content of the book isn't difficult to understand. It's just simple torture from our main protagonist (?) Seth Coker. I shouldn't use the term "simple" as some of the ways he inflicts pain and suffering onto the low lives he catches are so technical and gruesome. While listening to this book, I wondered what went through Wade H. Garrett's head while writing this because it can be elaborate.
The plot twists in this novel are great and well thought out. At least, I thought so!
This book can also be very comedic at times - Seth Coker should consider being a comedian as another job to help himself look more innocent.
This book was insane and I'm glad that it was my first experience into the Splatterpunk genre. I'm definitely going to be listening to the rest of the books from "A Glimpse Into Hell".
