Bleach! Can somebody get me mindbleach please.

Is there a horror subgenre tagged as "Depressive Horror" because this should be right at the top. It's not jump start cheap shocks - its unsettling, depressing AF and disturbing.   Scrub my minds eyes and pour bleach down my hippocampus.

Woom gripped, twisted and suffocated me like a serpent. It just kept getting worse (not blood and gore but something more) and made me revisit the idea of switching to horror movies (meh, boring) instead of horror books. Damn it to hell why'd I have to see every bleedin word in moving picture form in my minds eye.

This was grim and heartbreaking.

Plot/Storyline: I actually wanted a grown up to ban me from reading this and then ground me, put me on a timeout and take away all my snacks.  Then I remembered I'm the grown up in my life, so I tried to ban myself. No such luck - it kept me hooked.

Characters: Angel gave me  "chop you up and melt your face"  vibes from the get go. I kept wishing he was not a psychopath . I also empathized with him so much.

Outrageous  scene: That whole Cram(ps) chapter was a shitshow. I mean this whole book was,  but that was almost as insane as the last chapter.

●Stay in school kids.
●Don't do drugs. 
●Make Good Choices

Significant Quote/Concept:
●Cross my heart and hope to die," Shyla said, making the gesture. (oh Shyla ... you poor thing).
● Red flags?"
"Danger signs. 'Do not pass Go, do not collect two hundred dollars.' Although I charge two-hundred and sixty, and I usually expect a tip," she added with another wink. (Shyla missing ALL of the red flags)
●My mother always used to say, 'Hug your enemies, sugar. Make them into friends.' (Shyla's prediction of the ending without realizing it)
