Dimentia by Russell Coy
3.0

This is, to put it mildly, a weird one. And not necessarily in a bad way. But it’s definitely bonkers, bizarre, and befuddling.

A man starts seeing weird goopy sex demons half materialize in his everyday life. A particularly devilish one, dubbed Red Fang, manages to bridge the gap between their worlds and steals his daughter. Now put protagonist must enter a disturbing hellscape to rescue her (and hopefully find his confidence along the way).

There’s not much to the characters or their personalities, but the plot is crazy enough that I stayed on board just to see what would happen. Now, I mentioned sex demons because the majority of them are, well, having all kinds of freaky sex. There’s a lot of supernatural sex. Like, a lot.

But there’s also a ton of incredibly imaginative creature designs and alien landscapes, some really hilarious WTF moments, and some strange and unsettling scenes. It’s a speedy descent into odd delirium and I’m mostly here for it (minus a good bit of the demon sex, but that’s just me).
