This book is hard to rate, but it was really intense and I enjoyed reading it. I think I discovered something that gives me the ick, though, that I have never read about

the incest and the way Lori reflects back on it in the River Man's shack, gag

. 

Overall, dark, twisted and a hard to put down read.

My Heart Is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones
Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.

Maybe Slasher style horror descriptive isn't my style, but I had to DNF around 80 pages. There was so much description, yet lacking substance and it just wasn't holding my attention.
