kimis's review against another edition

wouldn't call it so much horror as torture porn. the set up was a little confusing, especially at first, and the mystery of trying to figure out exactly what was going on isn't to me interesting enough to be worth having to dig through another 150 or so pages of what promised to be much of the same (which so far was limited to reading about a potentially underage boy being abused, raped and mutilated over and over again by a series of disgusting men).

4.0

Degrading, disturbing and utterly FUCKED up. Reading Dennis Cooper's "The Sluts" is an experience all by itself. It mentions few of the most triggering and taboo sexual fantasies which leave the reader with unsettling thoughts so profound that words are not enough to describe them. At last the unique format in which this novel is written will make you continue reading until you find all the answers you were looking for. 4 body fluid lathered stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

PS :- 👨‍⚕️ 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮
