Review: One for the Must Read List
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 29, 2014
Mark Henry has a place in my “must read” list. His books are a special kind of twisted that is a rare treat for me these days. Although my kind is becoming more mainstream by the day. American Horror Story anyone?In this story we follow along on the explanation of the urban legend surrounding people waking up in a bathtub full of ice in a seedy motel relieved of a pound or two of flesh. Specifically organs tainted by paranormal powers. I don’t want to reveal to much, as that is part of the fun of a Mark Henry novel, seeing just which direction he’s going with it. Seriously, after the last book I am just now able to go to Cold Stone Creamery. *shiver*That said, you can expect the same snark, wit and twisted characters that you have grown used to in a Mark Henry novel. His characters aren’t eccentric, they are flat out twisted, bat-shit insane. And I love every single one of them. Though there is a special place in my heart for his drunk nun.If you haven’t read Henry before, you are in for a rare treat. And you should go back and read his Amanda Feral series. New novels in that series are releasing soon. And if you’re a fan of the aforementioned American Horror Story (even if you hide your eyes at the “icky” parts… I’m looking at you Mrs. Zombie) you will enjoy the hell out of this story.If you’re already a Henry fan… well… you know. I once (or twice) referred to Battle of the Network Zombies as being like having sex with a dislocated shoulder, really uncomfortable, but too much fun to stop. This rates right up there, though not as uncomfortable in parts like the last Feral book. I mean it, I like being able to eat corn on the cob again.Overall, I am giving this book 5 stars. Mark Henry is back and it is everything I’ve come to expect in one of his adult, full on twisted ass stories.5 Stars
