A good man is hard to find... And sometimes they’re just plain defective.
Every Friday night, three women meet to discuss their favourite topic over a glass of men. On the night of Halloween, they break into an abandoned mental asylum to swap spooky stories about creeps, perverts and psychos, all of the male variety. But these three friends are not alone in the derelict building on this dark and stormy night. They will come face-to-face with their worst nightmare… Men.
This is a short story collection within a wraparound story.
Three friends break into an asylum and only one comes out. They break in with bottles of wine and horror stories. They sit around and tell each other fictional horror stories (or are they?) about men. The evil men do to women. Soon inhibitions fall away and secrets are revealed. A great extreme horror-is it bad I wanted more extreme depictions of violence...yeah okay, I'll check myself in
I really enjoyed this read. 3 women whom are all different in their own way have one thing in common. Men whom have deeply hurt them in one way or another. This giving them a strong bond. They meet having times where they talk and describe there heartache and struggles regarding men. This is where things change one night where unexpected twists arise and they each are in a place where truths start to be told and strange events begin to unfold and the blood and savagery begin to happen. What I loved about this was the stories within the story. It made it so much more exciting. The wrap around story has a great twist and definitely made it for me. I loved Vicky her character was stand out for me as I related to her the most. But I equally liked Leslie and Nora. Each character bringing something different to the story with differing personalities. A great, fascinating read, one is definitely recommend.
First time reading from Sam west and I gotta say, he didn’t disappoint. A book with a bit of everything- twists, gore, thrilling. Will definitely be trying out more of Sam west books.
