the first horror book i had to take a break from. at one point i got nauseous and physically gagged. so gross. if that’s what you’re looking for this is the book for you.

horrifying, disgusting, unsettling. every trigger warning you can think of. read in one sitting. great at eliciting emotion from the reader (mainly disgust), but also so extreme it comes off as unrealistic at times. it’s mainly giving torture p*rn with a loose plot, as i imagine most of his books are. if you want to read a book that will turn your stomach then this is the one.

Saw a review on TikTok and didn't believe the review or comments... I still don't quite believe what I read. But, I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting!

This was filthy, disgusting and profoundly disturbing. The Slob was my first splatterpunk novel, but it won't be my last. I'm just going to read a few other books before picking up another to cleanse my palate....

Insanely boring torture porn, with some homophobia forced at the end, for some reason... also the author doesn't really know how things like this work, I feel like. Boring, not worth the time.
