Let’s start with my biggest gripe—this white author uses the n word twice. The book is not about racism and the word is used as throwaway derogatory remarks. Unnecessary and unacceptable.

The gore and the horror of this book mostly involves the female anatomy in ways that are completely not possible in real life. Maybe I’m foolish but I need a level of realism in my horror stories. Another reviewer wrote that it was “so far fetched it’s comical” and I agree.

Many of the stories are told from the female perspective and holy shit I’m so tired of extreme horror authors who CANNOT write good female characters AT ALL.

The stories were gross, as promised, but that’s about all there was going for it. The only reason I finished the book is because it’s extremely short and I wanted to give a fair review.
