Pin by Andrew Neiderman
4.0

** Warning for offensive language **

What the fuck is this book? I wavered between 3 stars and 4, but I had to bump it up because this is a unique story and I think, for horror, it was successful in making me feel icky and generally creeped out.

How could I even synopsize this? Brother and sister, Leon and Ursula, in their late teens live alone after their parents die in a car accident. And PIN? Well, he is a life-size anatomically correct dummy that lives with the teens. He has been a confidant to them throughout their childhood, educating them on "the need," their sexual desires, and more. What?

This book made me feel icky. Such a weird, creepy tale, but that is one aspect of horror and Neiderman did it successfully. Can't recall reading anything like this, so kudos to him for being unique.

Recommend for hard horror heads only.
Warning for sexually explicit scenes involving.
Must read if you are a fan of Paperbacks from Hell (hard horror heads
