Savage Mountain by John Quick
4.0
Savage Mountain is a book that pulls no punches. Unsettling, depraved, and gruesome are all words that come to mind when I recall my experience reading it. It's pretty much a gore-fest that stands as a homage to the greatest slasher flicks. Most of the characters suck. Don't get me wrong, they're written amazingly, they're just awful people. However, somehow, you still find yourself rooting for them when the mayhem begins.
This book is straight up brutal. The word savage in the title is certainly apt. Despite some scenes managing to make me squirm in disgust, the writing never once felt overbearing or over imposing. If you struggle with extreme depictions of suffering, maybe give this one a miss.
