The writing is too good for the content to be so stupid! Potentially I don’t understand extreme horror, it’s so predictable if you’re capable of imagining the next disgusting thing that could happen.
Cramps after putting heroin in your gf’s vagina? Overdose miscarriage!
Anal sex? Messy prolapse!
Into masturbating with a mannequin? Make a dude into a mannequin by sanding his dick off!
Having a sex worker dilate her vagina when you have mom issues? Stick your head up there for rebirthing!
These are all predictions I made while reading the opening premise of chapters that came true by their end. I might try another book by this author just to see if they have ever tried more compelling subject matter.

This was highly recommended on spooky booktok but I really didn’t find much in the way of horror. And I didn’t love the style of short sentences.
Every other sentence.
For dramatic effect.
It was oddly fanfic-y, something like Twilight with the beautiful-but-doesn’t-know-it self insert narrator. Potentially I’m just too ancient to appreciate this style of writing.

As someone who reads almost entirely horror and who is perhaps desensitized, this book was deeply upsetting to me. I’m torn between 4.5 and .5 stars, honestly.

Sometimes I think that delving into the mind of a shitty person (in this case, fictionalized Jeffrey Dahmer if he lived in Michigan) is a white author excuse for being able to print racist slurs. I felt the same way about We Need to Talk About Kevin, though that was better for me in the exploration of maternal alienation. Zombie was gratuitous and just not good; I was extremely glad it was a short read.
