About this listen

It was alive, confused, and pissed! It could not understand why it was violently separated from its host and left to rot. Following an undeniable call to pursue the one who abandoned it and seek revenge, the quest for retribution had begun, and nothing or no one would stand in the way.

I feel like I meant to feel sorry for the foetus but I don't maybe I'm just a heartless b**** but the father of the child wasn't even interested or supportive or even checked in on the woman and left it all to her so she made the only decision she felt she could make. I felt like she is the only one being punished for consequence that involved two people. Instead I am disgusted and pissed off that something that you try to get rid of has come back to try and kill you. It was the raccoons that really did it in for me. Also, how is an aborted foetus meant to talk?

Unbortion tells the graphic tale of a foetus that gets gruesomely aborted - and yet somehow continues to exist. We follow his journey as he tries to find a place in the world.

When a book has a concept as fresh and disturbing as this one does, it’s basically a must-read - or in this case, a must-listen - for me. Luckily the execution does justice to the ideas.

There’s a real juxtaposition of horror and heart in this book. On the one hand, the descriptions of violence and body horror are extremely graphic. They also incorporate obvious knowledge of anatomy and physiology, making them some of the most medically expert splatterpunk scenes I’ve read. Bercy has almost created a new genre – Clinical Splatterpunk! At the same time, though, Unbortion has what every good book needs: a strong emotional core. It’s impossible not to empathize with the nameless foetus protagonist, and there are many moments in this story that are genuinely touching, creating a functional juxtaposition of ultra-horror and genuine pathos. A great ending really ties up the whole experience perfectly.

I’m looking forward to reading more by this author, and I recommend this one to splatter fans for sure.

Gruesome splatterpunk with heart
