If you love all things goth, sparkly, and fabulous, then this book is for you. Strap in for a wild, fun time. This book is ridiculous in all right ways and had me hooked from the very first sentence. Highly recommend
This book is the boat scene from Willy Wonka, but the soundtrack is Meghan Trainor.
I love this so fing much! All of us out there that love all that is dark and spooky as equally as we love all things Lisa Frankesque. This book was made for us! I could go on and on telling you about all the amazing and hilarious references, and greatness in general but I’m not gonna. Go read it for yourself! Like now!

Hot Pink Satanism takes things to a new level. Imagine a satanic cult, add in some neon, glitter, and mix all of that into Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory and you have Hell.
Now imagine Baphomet as a fuzzy hot pink demon that is totes adorbs! Six emo unicorns with bad dye jobs and a hamster named Danzig whose fur looks like corpse paint. All this insanity is waiting for you!
Casey and Torres did a wonderful job of making this funny and so over the top. Its ridiculousness had me laughing throughout. I thought it was unique and entertaining. You won’t find such colorful carnage anywhere else. After reading this I’m glad my table in Hell is already reserved. It’s totes going to be a good time. I hope these authors have more crazy plans because I am here for it!

To be fair, I don’t think I’m the target audience for this one. I love horror and I love comedy, but I hate horror-comedies. They almost always end up being neither scary nor funny. That was the case with this one, unfortunately. It was a bit too outlandish for my taste. The plot didn’t do anything to keep me invested, and overall the story felt very rushed. The jokes were very “did you see that joke? Wasn’t it funny? Here let me make that joke again.” The first Meghan Trainor joke didn’t make me laugh. The 7th one made me want to give up on the book entirely. It was very cringe. I was kind of surprised actually because I’ve loved every single thing I’ve read from Kyra, but I don’t know how much was written by her vs. Damien on this one. I’ll still read her horror, but I think I’ll pass on Damien based on this release.
This book is packed with absurd humor, bad puns, glittery blood, and fun characters. I had to put it down and sigh a few times. It was great. I absolutely loved it.

4.25 stars. This book is just as ridiculous as the title and cover would imply. I mean that as a high compliment - B-movie ridiculousness is my favorite subgenre of both horror books and films. Calvin takes a trip to Hell, which has been turned into a candy-filled, Lisa Frank nightmare. When a bunch of emo, poser unicorns show up intending to take over Hell, hilarity and gore ensue. This book is also really funny, and had several passages I read aloud to family. Highly recommended.
