Holy Squakamole!  I finished ‘The Him” by Rocky Alexander today.  It’s a short piece.  I can’t say I’ve ever read anything like it.  It is not for the faint of heart, or easily disturbed.  I finished it early in the morning and felt like I wanted to go wash my brain in the sink for a few hours.  In other words, it was superb.  It captures a true sense of horror.  Not creepy sublime horror.  Balls to wall horror. What a freaking nightmare.  I can’t really say much about it, the book description pretty much captures all I could say there.  But wow. Even writing this review I’m having some flashbacks.  I might have a mild form of PTSD from this.  But it was well worth it.  So, if you can handle it and like extreme horror, you will not be disappointed.  If you are scarred for life from it, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
