A review by rellwood74
Genital Grinder by Ryan Harding
5.0
Yeah, this took a while to get through because it is truly repulsive, but in a good way. If you like not just spatter gore, but disgusting images of oozing pustules, sex with rotting corpses, slurping down a bowl of "spontaneous abortion", guys ejaculating maggots (stuck in there through a straw slipped in the urethra), questionable activities involving a toilet brush, then you might be able to stomach this book.
It isn't all gross out though. It is an anthology of sorts, short stories written over time by the author. The characters are intertwined with each other in various ways throughout. There are two major players whose antics cover three main chapters. These are the most repugnant males ever written, Greg and Von. They are who Beevis and Butthead would grow up to be. They spend their nights dumpster diving behind the local woman's clinic in search of treasure in the form of used tampons and maxi pads. They are featured in three different stories which basically span a couple of days. These stories are the ones that contain the most graphic, disgusting, mental raping I have ever come across. They also have some of the most hilarious moments. Ryan Harding somehow managed to make these two idiots actually semi-likable. Oh, you would never be friends with them, but you don't wish death on them. Truly, they are Beevis and Butthead. The activities contained in their chapters give the book its name. It took me three attempts to finish this book, and I realize that each attempt stopped during those Beevis and Butthead chapters.
I must also warn you that any woman depicted in this book is never in a good light. There are no nice girls here, they are all “sluts and whores who deserve what they get”. No animals or kids are in the book, and no one sympathetic either, so don’t worry about feeling guilty about who gets what.
The other stories mixed between those main chapters are kind of standalones that have different themes. For the most part, they have minimal gross out in them and are more Twilight Zone than major gore. I enjoyed them all.
The first is in the first person POV of a guy trapped under the weight of the big woman he took home the previous night, she died on top of him and is slowly crushing him. He spends his last moments monologuing in his head, realizing that no one is coming for help. No real gore here.
Another story features a movie rental clerk who loves to watch those "Faces of Death" type movies. He is puzzled over the fact that he keeps seeing the people in the films who should have been dead, walking around town.
There is the dual POV story which is a mix of first-person journal entries, and the third person POV of a high school kid who realizes that his father is a serial killer who stopped years ago, but hasn't been caught.
As I finished reading this book last night there were a few scenes that I had to skim past simply because the gore was too much. There were other scenes that I highlighted on my Kindle because I laughed so hard, I probably woke up my neighbors.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes splatter gore, mixed with insanity and humor. The bumbling antics of Greg and Von had me in stitches as well as partially throwing up in my mouth.
