What in the hell did I just read?
I suspect that's a pretty common thought for most readers having just finished wading through the slick gory entrails of an extreme horror/bizarro book for the first time.
I popped my bizarro cherry with APESHIT and I'm not sure how I feel about it;
Scared? A little.
Sickened? Sure.
Aroused? Hell no.
Interested in reading more? I think so...God help me...
APESHIT pits a group of horny isolated teens enjoying a trip away in a cabin in the woods, recently inherited by one of the groups' members against horror incarnate; deformed human like creatures who just don't die and who only want to inflict pain in the most gruesome way possible. Naturally the blood flows equal to other bodily fluids as the group is steadily picked off one by one in between bouts of weird sex and character development true to the bizarro theme.
Once you get over the stomach churning murder scenes and equally stomach churning sexual escapades, APESHIT resembles a fine form of survival horror in similar vein to the Dead River series by legendary horror author Jack Ketchum.
I certainly recommended giving this one a shot but do so with eyes wide open.
