Into the Wolves' Den by Jon Athan

2.0

Into the Wolves' Den is essentially the splatterpunk genre's Taken on a smaller scale: it's a revenge story where a father is racing the clock to find his two missing daughters, who have been kidnapped by men driving a trafficking ring. If you're looking for creative and intense, graphic description of gore, this book is great. If you want to read nothing but physical torture and gore, this book is pretty much perfect for you.

I'm still very new to the splatterpunk/extreme horror genre, but when a story relies almost entirely on gore and shock-factor, I lose interest. The torture scenes quickly became repetitive and I found myself wanting more in terms of characterisation and writing. Moving on!
