Tim curran is one of the most disgusting, demonic, perverted, tabooless you can imagine - and I like him. I've read 5 novels by him and not all are the same vein. Some are more horror-lovecraftian thing and then others are just - "See how perverted, disgusted humans can be" -> Biohazard had some pretty awful images.
This one is identical in some ways. Humans are disgusting and capable of the most unimaginable things. One might say that yeah Nazi were awful but were they the worst? Probably not. There are a lot of awful ways to kill people and the Inquisition really put that working. There are other more sadistic ways if you want to imagine and all of them someone tried before. So, yeah nazis killed millions but in the same war the Japanese were way worst - the tests they did were very disgusting. Okay , probably a topic for another day.
We are talking about this one.
-> If you hate or are disgusted reading about rape, don't read this novel.
-> If you hate or are disgusted reading about fecces, don't read this novel.
-> If you hate or are disgusted reading about blood, don't read this novel.
-> If you hate or are disgusted reading about incest, cannibalism, juvenile porn, infanticide - yeah don't read this novel.
-> IF this don't upset you - well, first of all, you may go some specialist because something is wrong with you :)
Now, what I am saying is that each page is filled with something of the above. The story goes from page one to the last really fast forward even if the story takes place in 24/48h spam.
In this story we follow two main characters Macy (an underage girl) and Louis a 30/40 year old guy. Then each other chapter we follow a different character just to enrich our tale of story and a global vision (only local).
As I said it's very graphic, gore and exploitation. If you got arouse in some scenes- probably you are not alone - don't worry :)
I am going to put some scenes - I am going to put in spoilers but not because they are spoilers but somewhat graphic.
." She did not see him or the hands that pressed him down on her, but she felt his penis as it slid along her inner thigh like an engorged snake, pushing higher and higher, sliding into her as she shuddered and kicked and called out the name of the only man she thought would protect her..."
"She squatted by te boy's head, running fingers along the inside of his skull, getting the last bits of buttery-soft gray matter that had been missed. Like her sister, she was naked, streaked with grime and and filth from head to toe, her flesh cicatrized in patterns of welts and rising scars
Another interesting point is the all Killer Ape theory the writer here talks about
- Love is a romanticized adaption of the breeding / brooding impulse
- Materialism is simply an expression of the animal instinct to covet
- Nationalism our flag-waving patriotism, nothing more than the ancient animal drive to maintain and defend a territory and war nothing but an overblown, exaggeration of territorial impulse to raid, kill to take what belongs to another and make it your own.
Why everything happend we don't know. It's never truly explain the meaning and reason for all. Some theories and such.
