You will see some parallels with that movie when you read this one, but it is hard to imagine how far the author went with this one.

Beauregard has set this up as an escape room story for kids – with the only difference being each room is literally live or die – and the dying part is always a carnage filled paragraph of viscera. TL;DR Lazy shock horror, written by someone who has a fixation on portraying women as being disgusting horrific beasts, and no interest in how his work is using antisemitic tropes or even bothering to weave a narrative out of the gruesome imagery. The characters are well fleshed out, the story makes sense, but deep inside all the gore there is a commentary about parenthood and the ills of the world we live in. The choices they will have to make, the choices some of them do make, and the consequences of thier actions. Geraldine feels that the parents are undeserving of the lives they are living and the children they have.

He also contributes to the Evil Examined Podcast where he explores the most strange and horrifying events in the history of humanity with his lady and friends.

Boiling down her entire life and everything within, for her to feel like "something is missing" and what is it? as a jewish person, it's uncomfortable to read about a nazi in this light; the forced german accent was just plain strange. Rock is the character that from the beginning one can tell that he is a puppet on Geraldine's strings. You don't Name Drop camps that this fictional nazi worked at/helped design and then not expect me to be questioning the presence of antisemitism and its, extremely disappointing that I've not seen that brought up at all whenever I did see people talking about this book.

There are some scenes scattered throughout that were so disgusting I found myself laughing at my own reactions to it. Somewhat broken families, the daily life struggles of parenthood, and the product the children are becoming because of those parental choices. the author amplified how putrid geraldine’s vagina is to such an extent that it almost became funny. For me horror is an escape from all the real nightmares of the world and this one surely suceeded in taking me away!

I love his book, but this one hit differently, yes it's disgusting, yes its gore, everything you expect from him, but I felt connected to the characters, I wanted them to survive (and I don't even like kids).Goodreads Librarians are volunteers who help ensure the accuracy of information about books and authors in the Goodreads' catalog.
