Who would have thought a book about necrophilia would be so damn good? Every year in the Books of Horror Indie Author Brawl, there's at least one book I never would have picked up on my own that I end up really enjoying. I don't read much extreme horror anymore, because all gore and no story bores me. No such problem here. The book manages to be totally subversive without losing the plot. 4.25 stars
