Please look in to a list of trigger warnings for this book because there are many.

I don't often feel nauseated while reading a book but it's sort of impossible not to with this one. I didn't expect this book to be so incredibly dark and addicting.

The stories are creepy, full of gore and straight up deranged. I've never read anything quite like it and I have to say every story was ridiculously entertaining.

(spoiler: the descriptions of bloody masturbation were too uncomfortable and I'm still cringing)
