A group of sexy teens go on a camping trip. Tame enough when explained like that, right? But I should probably mention that these sexy teens are into threesomes, sex changes, fetishes I'm actually not comfortable describing on THIS blog so you KNOW they're fucked up, and one even suffers from vagina dentata AKA pussy teefs. And this camping trip is in a section of the woods where nothing seems to die but EVERYTHING gets horrifically mutilated, and happens to be inhabited by psychotic mutant freaks.
Yup, just some sexy camping teens.
You know, I don't even know where to begin.
This was a WEIRD fuckin' book. It was gross, too, and well written, But FUCKIN' WEIRD first and foremost.
I mean, the whole situation was completely preposterous and outlandish from the get go, which works so damn well that when you happen to pick the book up and start skimming the first page, you can't help but start reading. Which is exactly what happened to me. And because the story is divided up into neat little bite sized chunks (ew, visual) you just end up burning through the damn thing... except when you know something absolutely hideous is about to happen, and you have to take a breather to mentally prepare (Which I actually had to do. Me - lover of all things gory. That says something about this story, right there.) before you plunge on ahead. Plus, it's written well enough that you just burn through the thing without realizing it. Really, it was a super quick read.
The characters were all total freaks. Some more so than others. I mean, the least freaky people were the cheerleader with a mohawk and multiple tattoos into threesomes with her two bisexual boyfriends, and the dude who's dad banged an underage male prostitute in front of him. And then kindly offered him a turn. To cure him of his fear of homosexuals. Again, these were the two most NORMAL characters.
The situation they were all in was completely ridiculous - hunted by freaks in a forest where everything's been doused with a little Death Becomes Her juice.

It's all so outlandish that you just can't look away. Like scene hair, or Chatroulette.
It was a read, all right. Great ending, fucking weird as fuck, offended my senseless sensibilities, and I could most definitely wait on reading any more by this author. I'm honestly afraid if I read too much, it might ruin regular gore for me.
