Oh, this was disgusting...

And I loved every word. Pretty sure the stories told in Woom will stick with me for the rest of my life. This is not for the faint of heart, but if you have the stomach, it is a tale of love and self discovery unlike any I've ever read.

Bless you, Shyla.

kermitdafrog's review against another edition

3.5

Room 6 has seen many many a horror in its day. And as predictable as the ending is, it leaves you waiting for the room to see that one more act of violence. I was just sitting there waiting for her to realize his true intent the whole time. The stories do seem a bit shock for shock's sake, but it's an engaging and short enough read that's that's not too bad a thing. Not for the weak stomached, but that comes with the genre.
