“Chunks of vomit quickly filled his mouth as it mixed with bits of dick skin that he had yet to swallow.”

This was a book about revenge, Papa received what he deserved.

A really horrific concept for several reasons. And I say that on a good note. A vengeful, killer doll? A serial rapist pedophile with active victims? Put those together and you got one nasty, gut-wrenching situation. Most of the story was body horror. Rape and such were pretty predominant early on, too, so reader beware. I liked the experience for the most part but just wanted some additional context to everything going on. I don't want to spoil much, but some additional background on previous victims, Rebecca's story, and, of course, our star, Dolly. Lots of solid dynamics and plot points, but none fully explored enough to have much of an impact. It was all just the tie'm up and torture'm kind of act, which only goes so far without other significant, supporting factors. Pacing was also fine, but it just needed to develop things further. Perfect for ruining your lunch.

This one was alright
It was basically torture porn of a child rapist, which I can get behind.

I keep picking up these extreme horror books hoping for something that will actually scare or disturb me, and then having an experience akin to reading public bathroom graffiti. I guess if you find the word sphincter really edgy you’ll find this affecting. I just didn’t find anything in here all that crazy? Haunted doll rehash of the scene in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo where Lisbeth Salander gets her revenge on Bjurman. There’s more bodily fluids I guess, but all in a very 2EDGY4U way. I just kept feeling like that viral copypasta about having an iced coffee for breakfast. Ohhhhh my god this horror story is about ass trauma? That’s sooooooooo crazy, should we tell everyone? Should we throw a party? should we invite Eric Kripke?

What the fuck did I just read? Dollface is an extreme, splatter-punk, novella - which is only readable because the extremes are done as revenge against the most deplorable excuse for a “human being” ever (the character of ‘Papa’).

Dollface has seen Papa hurt/kill countless young girls, and has been unable to do anything about it - because she actually is an inanimate object; a doll. But now, she has awoken, and she is filled with anger and rage. She’s going to make Papa pay for all she has had to witness and endure at his hands.

Good for her.

Holy Fuck...what the bloody hell did I just read??
This was pretty brutal, and rather weird...but funny sometimes and enjoyable too.
It was one of those stories that I couldn't pull myself away from because I needed to know the conclusion.
This is not for everyone...so be warned...tread carefully and be aware of the trigger warnings before diving into what lies between the pages of this disturbing book!!!

4.5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐'s because Dolly was awesome!

[Carl Bluesy · Rating 3 out of 5]

From the first page to last this story was full of dark disturbing Gore. Everyone’s story on the most despicable people taken to new heights!

A nice short read that can be enjoyed in one sitting.

[Aiden Messer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dear god, what an opening line.

[Sydney · Rating 1 out of 5]

cringey, gross, very poorly written, and adds nothing to the world. if this can get published anything can.

[Andy Crow · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ok, that was extreme as fuuck, but rewarding. As short as it was effective.
But seriously Ryan, go to therapy for god's sake 😅

[brynn helena · Rating 3 out of 5]

nasty! but deserved!

[Sea Caummisar · Rating 4 out of 5]

I went into this extreme story pretty much blind, just based upon my knowledge that it's known as being a revenge extreme horror story. and it is that...... I'm not quite sure what I expected, but it wasn't this... I suppose I didn't take the title literally.... it's gross, violent, and full of shock factor.... however, it felt much shorter than the 99 pages... so I guess time flies when you're having fun????

[KillerBunny · Rating 4 out of 5]

4 ? 4.5 stars ?

That was hardcore as fuuuuck !
I was not expecting that amount of extreme content in such a small book.

[InkDrinker1198 · Rating 4 out of 5]

I mean it’s gross and cringy for what this genre is.

[Beanz 42069 · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was so bad. TERRIBLY written and terrible storyline. Fr just an excuse to write about pedophilia, author tried to make it seem like a revenge story but it just felt fetishized. I had to DNF this book, it’s not worth ur time trust me. I wish I could give this shit 0 stars. I’m no stranger to extreme horror / splatterpunk either, this book is just so incredibly bad. Spare urself the trouble.

[Megan Puddefoot · Rating 1 out of 5]

[Rojda · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dollface by R.J. Powell

What in the unholy, therapy-requiring h3ll did I just read?

Let’s not sugarcoat this. This book comes with trigger warnings that are not decorative. If sexual violence—especially involving minors—makes you physically sick, that’s not weakness. That’s called being a decent human being. Protect your peace. Close the tab. Walk away.

I should have.

From page one I felt my stomach flip. You know that slow, creeping nausea where your brain says nope but your morbid curiosity says we’re already here, might as well suffer properly? Yeah. That. I genuinely thought I might throw up a little. Took a breath. Kept reading. Because apparently I cope with horror by leaning into it like it owes me money.

The descriptions are layered and deliberate. Uncomfortable on purpose. Watching a man weaponize innocence and twist it into something grotesque is not “edgy horror fun.” It’s vile. It’s supposed to be vile. And it works. I hated it. Which means the writing did exactly what it set out to do.

But here’s where it shifts.

Nothing is what it seems. And revenge? Revenge doesn’t knock politely. It waits. It reshapes itself. It smiles back at you when you least expect it. That twist pulled the story from pure depravity into something darker and strangely satisfying. Twisted justice. The kind that makes you feel bad for feeling good.

It’s a short story, so I won’t spoil it. I’m not a horror-spoiling gremlin. Also, if I had to sit with that discomfort, I refuse to be the only one. Misery loves company. Consider this your engraved invitation.

Three and a half sickened, slightly impressed stars. I loved the concept. I respect the commitment to the horror. But—and this might say more about me than the book—I’ve read things that crawled deeper under my skin. This one disturbed me, yes. It just didn’t linger the way others have.

That doesn’t mean it won’t wreck you.

If you’re a horror reader who chases that stomach-twisting, morally corrosive edge? You might devour this whole. Just… maybe don’t read it while eating. Trust me.

[C.J. Daley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Grabbed this on kindle and gave it a go. My new job has little bits of time where I can read, but not quite long enough to pick up a book, so this short read was perfect.

This is an extreme horror story, which is not usually my cup of tea. And honestly, that just scratches the surface. It’s extremely horrific, that’s what it is!

An abused doll comes to life, seeking revenge on papa for everything she has seen and endured. His latest victim is still tied up in the basement, and Dollface is just in time to recruit her help—rescuing her, and possibly traumatizing her herself.

Extremely sickening, and over the top, Dollface makes papa feel each and every regret possible. This story made me have to stop reading more than once, setting it aside to focus on something else. The descriptions hit me right in the stomach, unsettling and viscous. I will never be able to view anything cherry the same.

Regardless of how horrific it can feel, remember that papa deserves what’s coming to him…so good for her.

When it’s time to get your revenge on a disgusting person who has done unspeakable things to you and others, enjoy their slow agony because they deserve it. Revenge is SWEET.

Yet another short, quick read today from the same author of Eight Cases of Jane, which I reviewed yesterday. Extreme, disgusting, vile, everything you could want in an extreme horror book this one has. Let me state again I LOVE some female rage and I love the “good for her” girl trope. I love seeing people get revenge it’s just so sweet and when we talk about revenge this book definitely has it! Also, once again, love the cover.

If you’re an extreme horror fan and want a quick read, this one is for you. Please check trigger warnings before diving in though!

[Lia's Haunted Library · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a short and definitely not sweet revenge story about someone who absolutely deserved it. It’s a fun take on the genre, though the sensitive subject matter might not be for everyone. The details provided add to the satisfaction of the revenge, making it all the more impactful. Honestly, the most offensive part for me was watching perfectly good syrup go to waste—0/10 for that! But the rest of the story? Amazing.

Oh, and I’ve now found my favorite insult: “you fucking dollop of dick curds.”

i wasn’t emotionally prepared haha, but written well and the story itself was very cool
