Siphon by A.A. Medina
2.0
I was given a complimentary copy of this book for judgement in the Indie Horror Book Awards 2018. Review to be posted at odbookreviews.com
I almost didn't finish this book many times. It was really dragging for me. Very little of interest happened until the midpoint and on. But even then it was still drawn out and boring. The weird, perverted, and gag worthy things that did happen along the way, to me only served only as shock value as the little meat of the story was very slowly revealed. The ending I will say was really good. I started to get into it at about 85% and it couldn't have had a better ending. If you like a lot of gore, shocking obscenities with plenty of build up and suspense you might like this one. The writing was highly detailed and descriptive. Though this story wasn't at all scary the creepy little horror story buried in there was interesting, I wish that had been explored more instead of the slow build that left me bored. This book is very graphic, and downright gross and I only recommend it to an adult audience.
