About this listen

Warning: This is an extreme horror novel. There is gore. There is bad language. There are scenes of a sexual nature. But hidden underneath it all is also a chilling story. Please do not purchase this audiobook if you are easily shocked, disgusted or offended. This book is not for you.

A family will do anything to survive after a nuclear attack has left their world in ruins. Actions which even surprise them...

"Extreme Horror" is a not something I knew that existed or that I'd like but since getting to know the author I thought I'd try one of his books.
I'm thoroughly glad I did.
The warning on the cover is fully confirmed but the content had me hooked. I don't know if that says more about me, but I shall be seeking out more of Matt's other work.

Very different from anything I have read before but really enjoyable and clever. Makes me want to read Sicker Bastards.

Unexpected and different

how deep would you delve. Listened to near the end bought another Matt Shaw book, wished I had bought Sicker Bastardy as the twist at the end of the book is awesome. great sex, twisted horror and gore. delivers what it says on the tin.

How far would you go

The story was good enough, if a little thin and tedious in parts.

Shocking? Not compared to Crossed by Garth Ennis!

Excellent narration
