4 StarsI never thought their luck would get better; maybe it did..... not.
There are certain types of horror I find truly horrifying and not extremely satisfying and unfortunately this book fell into that category. Give me a brain eating monster or a alien invasion any day over things like home invasion, cannibalism and torture. The atrocities the human species is so much worse than any creature going on instinct or a species trying to defend itself. Stories like this are too believable I did find myself absolutely terrified and equal parts grossed out while reading
AFRAID was my introduction to Kilborn and I was extremely impressed by the style of writing he brings to the table.I will say that I am not easily shocked, perhaps even a bit jaded with splatterpunk, and so was overjoyed the book was able to turn my stomach in some scenes. The brutality was so unrelenting, and the plot well thought out and executed. I will definitely read more of this author's work, and I strongly recommend to anyone with a strong stomach who isn't easily offended. Thanks to
You didnt win at chess by killing pawnsyou won by checkmating the king. Trigger Warning: Graphic violence, graphic gore, talk of past sexual assaults. What the actual hell did I just read? This was so much fun. If you want something realistic, then you need not apply. This is just balls to the wall graphic horror violence and bat shit crazy people all around. This is why you should never live in a small town!I am a hardcore horror MOVIE addict. I get tagged all the time for horror
