Neil by Simon McHardy and Sean Hawker

The Pampered Clam lol

Neil is a bit of a loser. He lives a pretty dull life in his overbearing mother's basement. Lives off junk food and horror movies. He has a job he hates at the One Oak nursing home, where he longs to win the heart of one of his coworkers, Lindsay, who has enough of her own problems and doesn't give him the time of day. While taking care of one of the patients in the home, he learns the patient's deep, dark secret. The gore in this is turned up to 11! weird, vile, and funny. The dastardly duo know how to entertain. Once you think it can't get anymore over the top, it does, and it's amazing. Once the story gets going, it doesn't let up. Another winner. They never disappoint. Check it out! 5 severed fingers out of 5

Not What I Expected (in a good way)!

*I'm not going to give you the 'what this book is about' blurb - you can read that elsewhere. 1. Honestly, this is not a book I'd have ever picked up on my own, but I wanted to join another Mothers of Mayhem buddy-read, and this was the book. I'm so glad it gave me the push into something that wouldn't have piqued my interest on my own because this book was GREAT! 2. Weird, not quite Bizarro, but almost...and brutal. As we've established, I love some brutality and Simon and Sean delivered with some wildly creative deaths. 3. The overall format of the book kind of reminded me of Woom - where there's one overarching story, but there are smaller stories making it up. It's not quite as pronounced as Woom since this is all taking place across one day, but each part of the day is told like it's own little vignette. 4. I despise Gwyneth Paltrow and her 'Goop Culture'. It's toxic and harmful and, well, this is neither the time or the place, but suffice it to say that whole group gets a comeuppance during this novel and It👏Was👏Satisfying👏. 5. I laughed so hard at some of the imagery in this book. The combo of wildly inappropriate + gore + human emotions. Ugh, it's so good. Bonus -there's social commentary. A whole load of it. Some readers probably won't see it that way, but those readers are wrong. 😉

YOU MIGHT WANT TO READ IT WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED

This has everything you expect to find inside a book made by two of the most twisted minds out there right now. I can't even say anything without fear of censorship, there's a part where the thing happens. And then that time at the place, doing the thing. Ahhhhh! Hysterical and disgusting. Have you ever wanted to laugh and barf at the same time? You can with these guys. I don't want a world where these two don't write together. The earth may explode because of it, but it's so much funner this way!
