Synopsis (from kindle unlimited) :;

Noah, Jack, and Phil are three average guys who collect horror memorabilia and have a running competition to see who can come up with the most extreme or repulsive horror movie for their weekly guys’ night. When one of the friends gets the opportunity to steal tickets to an exclusive club that touts offering a realistic, immersive torture simulation, he jumps on the opportunity. Once they arrive at the theater they quickly realize that it isn't a simulation at all, and they have delved into an underground world that they don’t belong in. They have to uphold their stolen identities while trying to escape and not die (or kill anyone else) in the process.

Li’l review (tl;dr below) :;

Stockton really pulled no punches here. She manages to drag the reader deep into the story she’s weaving, and I had to pause and look up a couple times, blinking myself back to reality. It’s so well written, I feel like I’m doing a disservice by calling it “splatterpunk” - it’s gory and oozing with nasty visuals, but while I think it could be classified as extreme horror, it’s not something that relies on the viscera alone to evoke fear.

This is a book that, I believe, does not at all deserve the 3.9 rating on kindle unlimited. All I can say for that rating is, nerds be scurred‼️😤🤘

(Tl;dr, really well done book - read it!)

Rating :; ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5

Length :; 121 pages

It’s always important to read a book’s trigger warnings, especially with extreme horror. Please stay safe 🫶
