The Slob

SOME STAINS DON'T COME OUT...

Raised in a household so filthy it was stomach-spilling, Vera involuntarily evolved into a neat freak. Upon discovering she and her disabled husband Daniel are expecting, she needs fast cash. Her obsession with cleanliness sprouts the concept that her skills can be put to use in a unique way. She takes a stab at the booming door-to-door vacuum sales business of 1988.

All is going well until she arrives at the steps of a house that will change her forever. The steps of an evil that resurrects the ghastly memories she so desperately tried to wash away. Nothing will prepare you for the nastiness, disorder, and sickening horror brought forth by... The Slob.

Extreme horror authors - Listen Up! The bar has been set. For any of you who feels the violence and depravity is the most important part of the story, you need to read this book to learn about character development - because when the reader cares for the protagonist, they can FEEL the bad things happening.

Ew. That's all I can say. I was definitely not able to eat chicken for a few days after finishing.

Absolutely gut wrenching. It’s a very cliche type of horror with an old abandoned house deep in the woods resided by a cannibal. Had a lot of “Hansel and Gretel”and “wrong turn” vibes. A very sweet pregnant woman who just wanted to earn some money to prepare for motherhood has everything torn away from her after surviving a hellish childhood involving her sister killing herself. How ever this woman is no girly girl… she doesn’t take shit. She was smart, cautious, determined and very relatable. I personally loved this book by this author, but I strongly caution recommending it to people. There are scenes of extreme violence, and gross outs. If blood and guts (people eating it too) is not your thing than you might want to skip this one. But if you can handle it, and want something to keep you turning the pages go for it.
