Eh?! So this was basically the best worst Christmas present I ever got.

I'm laughing, but I'm not really laughing? Can you laugh and be traumatized at the same time?

Curiosity definitely killed this cat. :(

Just added this book to GR database. I am still waiting for it to be available at Kobobooks or any other ebookstores before I am able to grab it. Can't get the paperback since the shipping to my place is not feasible.

I am so dying to read this. Please please I beg you, don't make me wait too long ヽ(*´Д｀*)ﾉ

I wish I could show you guys one more tantalizing illustrations from this book, but tat one was errhmm... bit too intense. It makes me overly excited cos it's the hottest scene ever! The one that urge me to grab this book as soon as I could.

What to say about this book? The family in it reminds me of the one in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, especially the creepy old dad. The two brothers are the heart of the story - and I want more. The sex is disturbing. The story is sad, sick, and delicious. Also, it makes me wary of policemen.

Basically, nothing you wouldn't expect from this wonderfully twisted artist/author duo. Enjoy.

Yes. Yes it did. Holy fuck.


Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. And you know I loved it.

I don't have words.

Don't read this if you...

-...want to keep your faith into cops.
-...need a HEA.

But if you like some mind-fuckery you should definitly check this out!

This was way too tame;-) I have come to expect a certain....hm...pervyness from these two creators, and The Bride didn't quite live up to what I've read before.
Maybe I'm the perv here, since I thought some scenes could have been more "on-the-page" and graphic than they were now.
Still, the story (if somewhat done before), was compelling and quickly drew me in. It was unfortunately so short I never got much depth. Hopefully there will be a sequel sometime, since there is definitely material and base for some proper disturbed shit!

[Heather C · Rating 4 out of 5]

Yep, this is still the most disturbing thing I've EVER read!

[Mela · Rating 2 out of 5]

Hm, war nichts für mich. Während die Story um Jesse spannend war, war sie wieder viel zu schnell vorbei, da hätte ich gerne mehr gelesen. Die zweite Story in diesem Buch, "The Human Stain (Prolog)", war dann ein Riesen-Squick für mich und ich habe die dann nur noch halb überflogen. Anscheinend geht's dann noch weiter, ich denke mal, das wird auch noch erscheinen, da bin ich mal gespannt.

[Crescendo · Rating 2 out of 5]

This story is not for the faint of heart.



In fact, that twist ending left me so off guard that I stared at the page for ten minutes before it fully registered in my mind that the story was over. Wow.I did not see that coming.

Jesse, a stranded teenager on the highway is convinced by this Cop to ride with him to his childhood home where he'll go to visit his family. Maybe there, he thinks, he'll be able to borrow a phone. As they pull up to the house, which is located far off the road in the middle of nowhere,something starts to seem amiss.

Little does he know what horrors await him...

I felt pretty bad for our boy Jesse. He was another unwitting victim in a horrifying scheme. And I fairly sympathized with him. I couldn't blame him for what he'd done.

The relationship between the cop and the brother was fascinating. Who would've known that he was such a psychopath?

This story doesn't pull any punches. There is crossdressing, violence and rape. And a lot of mind fuckery. Read at your own risk.

Finally, I got my hands on 7 of these author/artist works. They were crazy hard to acquire for a while. I bought 4 manga and 3 novels, this one was the shortish in length, so I read it first, plus this cover is probably my favorite. It's giving supernatural vibes. Idk, maybe it just me. I will stay this story is definitely not for everyone, especially not the faint of heart or fans of fluff. It is very dark, and I would say very loosely romance. It has a creepy vibe from page 1. Honestly, there is a scene that made me think Pearl. The art is obviously beautiful, I think I would have bumped the rating up if it was a bit longer, and without spoiling too much, say that I wanted the protagonist to get his true desire satisfied physically. Maybe we will get a volume 2.

I have the japanese edition, hardcopy.
My first G/P ever. Really in love with the cover illustration. Yet, unfortunately, not with the story.
I actually like how the story was progressing, but the ending--THE ENDING--was really put me off. You could do so much more with the knife, Jesse!! Why did you just--uuurgh!!

[Chloe K · Rating 4 out of 5]

Damn what did i just read. Talk about dark and depressing. Death was the best thing that happened to Jesse in this book.

[Luana_reads · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not for me. At all.

[Clau MZ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Real definition of "dead dove, do not eat".
All things considered, I liked it better than Father Figure!

[khai · Rating 1 out of 5]

I knew this was going to be have a bad ending for Jesse but there was so much he could’ve done with that knife instead taking his own life 😭 he could’ve killed allen with it 😭😭😭

[รำพึง ลำพัง · Rating 3 out of 5]

Don't know how to describe it but



CAN NOT WAIT the bride's sequel


อยากดูจุดจบของผู้ชายบ้านนี้ ว่าตายยังไง แบบไหน หรือโดนจับหรือยังไงก็ตามแต่ โดยเฉพาะคนน้อง ที่เที่ยวลากผู้บริสุทธิ์มาเจอสถานการณ์วิปริตของตัวเอง จะรักพี่ตัวเองแบบไหนก็ตามแต่ แต่การลากคนอื่นมา แล้วสุดท้ายก็กำจัดเขา ทำจนให้พี่ชายตัวเองคิดว่าตัวเองไม่เหลือใคร ยกเว้น...ตัวเขาเอง olo
บอกตามตรงว่าไม่แปลกใจเลยว่าในภาคต่อไอ้พี่น้องโรคจิตคู่นี้จะเอากันเอง

poor Jesse I feel so bad for him until the end of story. he just a good looking guy who's done nothing...




and for you....Allen's brother

[Maya]

Did I read this in a public place (the bus)? YES
Was I shocked? YASSS
Was I scared? Yes, both for having someone read over my back and because of the story!
What did I learn? To NEVER EVER try to hitchhike a car.
This story really did trigger some fears from the way it was written. The characters were all insane in a horrible evil way. The events were THAT scary because there was NO HOPE, NOT EVEN A GLIMPSE OF IT. There was not ONE good thing about anything. Everything was dark and dangerous. This reminds me that sometimes no matter how we look at it, there are some very dark twisted evil people and events and things around, and sometimes looking for good is just pointless as it is not everywhere.
Can't rate this book. Have to reflect on it more.

Da fuck did I just read? Fuck. It's has the I-spit-on-your-Grave scenario but BLesque. Shit I feel so bad for the Idol guy :'( SO sad.

[Mariela Velasco · Rating 4 out of 5]

I never reviewed a book before but here it goes... After reading some reviews,I couldn't wait longer to read this, so I decided to buy this on G|P ebook store, since they recently made it available. I'm happy I got this as a PDF format. The novel is really short and took me less than an hour to read. I was expecting a little more, it didn't really leave me with a suspense of what the fuck just happened. Don't get me wrong I love kichiku Neko' and TogaQ's work, I just wish they could have let us inside Jesse's mind. IDK... But anyways, I'm so happy because a package from GP is on its way to me!Can't wait to have ITW in my hands!!!

[Amabelle (bico_belle) · Rating 3 out of 5]

it was really short and a bit twisted like something you see in a lot of horror films. i'm having mixed feelings about the ending though..

[Toofan · Rating 3 out of 5]

A dark tale , told from a psychopath's point of view.
