Dead Inside
"Chandler Morrison is one of the most visceral and uncompromising writers of his generation, and Dead Inside is a nightmarish, unforgettable work of fiction." -Donald Ray Pollock, author of The Devil All the Time
In this bleak and disturbingly erotic debut novel, iconoclast Chandler Morrison provides readers with a dark exploration of the nature of death, individuality, and generational identity. Along the way, lines will be crossed, taboos will be violated, and common decency will take an extended leave of absence. This is not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. Or anyone who enjoyed Fifty Shades of Grey.
A young hospital security guard with a disturbingly unique taste in women. A maternity doctor with a horrifically unusual appetite. When the two of them meet, they embark on a journey of self-discovery as they shatter societal norms while engaging in destructive and abhorrent behavior. As they unwittingly help each other understand a world in which neither of them seems to belong, they begin to realize what it truly means to be alive...and that it might not always be a good thing.

I dove into this book not knowing what to expect. I just kept seeing it around so I ordered it on an Amazon binge. And wow.
Morrison's critique of the absurdity of humanity, told from the perspective of an introverted necrophiliac, is as sharp and biting as it comes. I didn't want to relate to the protagonist because...necrophilia...but oh how so many of his observations rang true to me and that dry sense of humor just hit home like no other.
The best part is I never saw the twist at the end coming, even though he'd set it up perfectly and put it right in my face. This is one of the best books I've read this year.
