Tongue Wrestling for Tonsil Stones
When a peculiar medical condition caused Roger’s senses to do a switcheroo, almost overnight, he developed an unusual fixation - the distinct aroma and taste of tonsil stones. Thanks to his rare olfactory oddity syndrome Roger is willing do whatever necessary to amass a cache of coveted calcified throat nuggets. It was his dirty little secret, but hey, everyone has their kinks.

Welp, we’re going two for two on the kink shaming today… 💀
Put a finger down if you ever got sick and then developed a kink for tonsil stones. 😅
——
Okay fabulous, glad we could do this again. 🥰

*side note: I may or may not have gotten a snippet of this story back in AUGUST, and that same day I BEGGED Rowland to format his document and upload it to KDP asap. Sadly, that didn’t happen. Good news? It finally did happen!!!!
Good luck with this one, guys. 😂🤮

Now.. hear me out. I'm not one to kink shame, but.. 😭 that's a big fat nope from me, and I listen and DO judge 🤣
This short story was viscerally disgusting. The descriptions were SO detailed and fucking grim 😅 the thought of a someone sucking tonsil stones from a homeless man's rotten mouth will haunt me forever 😂 approach this one with caution should you have a weak stomach 😬 of course I loved it, ugh.

One of the most grotesque stories I’ve ever read. Follows a young man’s obsession with tonsil stones AKA throat boogers, pearls in an oysters of rot, devils feta balls, throat cheese, and their putrid greatness. Super nasty but made me laugh.

This isn’t the first book by Rowlands I’ve read; however, it is the first one I’ve nearly DNF'd. Not because the story was bad or hard to follow, but because it was so gross. I hate anything oral-related, and dentists are my biggest fear. This unpleasant experience made me feel something I haven’t felt while reading in a long time—sick! Well done, Rowlands; once again, you’ve knocked it out of the park! I’m looking forward to your next book!

Seriously...if you want to puke up...just read this...I'm guaranteed you will!!
It's gross,disgusting and really vile.
I don't really know what I've just read to be honest...but it's made me keep looking at people's mouths when they talk to me and wondering if they have their own Tonsil Stones lerking in a dark place at the back of their throats (not that I really want to know or to see them...let alone savour them to a full orgasm) 🤔 🤪😧
4 🤢🤮 ⭐⭐⭐⭐'s for making me feel sick on New Year's Eve 2024 🤣🤣
Happy New Year.... May 2025 Be Good To You 🍷🍾🎉🎊🎈🍻🍺🥂🎊

My stomach didn’t like this book… but I did!
Roger has a very weird medical condition that all the putrid, rotten smells are just a delight for his smell bulb. And one day while wandering in a disgusting public toilet he found a little gem in the sink that would awake his taste buds. A tonsil stone!
From then on he gets obsessed and will do whatever it takes to get more of this delicacy. Including kissing homeless people with really bad teeth.
Rowland’s writing is just too good to the point that made my stomach turn… but at the same time this book was just too funny for me to stop reading it.
So if you want to test how squeamish you are, here’s 45 pages of pure grossness.

*sighs*
Alright...I'm kink shaming
*smack* stop it *smack* please for the love of god stop it *smack*
The only other time I've physically gagged and nearly thrown up this many times was when I read Zola. For it to be only 45 pages (give or take) is mad.
This is disgusting. This is vile. Don't hoard and don't miss your dentist appointments 😭
5/5 ⭐
I'll pass on the Devil's Feta Balls 💀🤢

Ohhhh this is so gross and gag inducing, and extra props for the audiobook with the most vile yet perfect sound effects… but who doesn’t love a story where weirdos find each other.

This book was GNARLY man lol. The title leaves little room for imagination. It means what it portrays folks. I gagged several times throughout this one. Been a minute since I've had a little gross out fun. Rowland Bercy Jr. this was GROSS sir! hahaha.

Bloody hell
Saw this reviewed in a group and
had to read it. Absolutely vile and disgusting descriptives, but a story I had to follow until the suprising twist at the end.

⚫️Rowland Bercy Jr.'s Tongue Wrestling for Tonsil Stones is a daring and refreshingly quirky exploration of human oddities, blending humor with an offbeat sense of intrigue. The story centers around Roger, an ordinary man who, due to a rare condition called olfactory oddity syndrome, develops an extraordinary fixation on tonsil stones those calcified nuggets of debris that most people try to avoid, but Roger finds curiously captivating.
⚫️The premise itself is unique and unexpected, and Bercy skillfully leans into the absurdity of the situation without turning it into a mere novelty. Roger's fixation becomes an avenue for exploring deeper themes of personal identity, desire, and the complexity of human quirks. Roger is both an everyman and an outsider, navigating his bizarre obsession with an unwavering sense of purpose, despite the odd looks and judgment he may face. His willingness to embrace his strange passion makes him a surprisingly endearing character, and readers may find themselves rooting for him, even as they question the eccentricity of his fetish.
⚫️Bercy’s writing is clever, full of wit, and full of vivid descriptions that make even the most unusual aspects of the story oddly captivating. There’s a rich sense of humor in the narrative, but it never crosses the line into absurdity there's a fine balance between the bizarre and the relatable, making the book surprisingly thought-provoking. The pacing is steady, allowing the reader to delve deeper into Roger’s psyche, understanding his motivations while watching his odd journey unfold.
⚫️One of the book's most compelling aspects is how it challenges societal taboos and explores the idea that everyone has their "kinks" or hidden obsessions, no matter how strange they may seem. This theme is handled with both sensitivity and humor, making the book accessible to readers who enjoy unconventional storytelling and are open to the weird and wonderful corners of the human experience.
⚫️Tongue Wrestling for Tonsil Stones isn’t a book for everyone, but for readers who appreciate humor, eccentricity, and a touch of the absurd, it offers a refreshingly different perspective. Rowland Bercy Jr. has crafted a story that’s both playful and thought-provoking, offering a unique blend of comedy and curiosity. If you’re looking for something that’s outside the box (or perhaps, in this case, outside the throat), this book is definitely worth picking up. Highly recommended for those with an adventurous sense of humor!
Happy reading ❤️✨

Reader beware!
This is not a read for those who get squeamish easily.
It's vile. It's putrid. It's absolutely disgusting.
But it's also kinda sad and cute. And I'll admit I was Awwww-ing at the end.
Bercy amazes me with his twisted imagination and I wonder, did he make himself gag while writing this??

I picked this up for a buddy read, for sh*ts and giggles. Giggle, I did not. The writing style is impressive. It amplifies the story's grotesque elements. Definitely not for the faint of heart—OMG. I won’t let my friend live it down for wanting to read this!
January 3, 2025
I thought Zola made me feel sick. This one physically made me gag. I actually had to stop reading half way through so that I wouldn't physically be sick. Bravo to the author for this. Not sure it is one I could reread but I'm happy to say I did survive reading it. Just...

disgusting 🤢
This really was the most disgusting book ever and I loved it!! Also happy for Roger at the end haha

the background sounds in the audiobook really made this weird and wild ride... weirder.

Just putting it out there, you have to listen to the audible. The music, background noises and so forth... Just make this that much better.

The amount of GAGGING I did?!?! This was disgusting. So disgusting I had to either take a breather, or a moment to stop gagging every. half. page. That's how bad it was. I still feel bile in my throat and still very much ready to puke the more I think about it. EW.
January 13, 2025
Gross is the only way to describe this book, in the best possible way lol.
Roger and his dad have really let themselves go in every area of their lives, mould everywhere, rats, insects are cohabiting in bliss with them. But our dear Roger suffers from a rare disorder that turns your taste and smell back to front.. So what we find vile, he finds heavenly.
Roger finds tonsil stones are like caviar to him, now how he gets his fix is hilarious but overly vile. This will make you want to immediately go brush your teeth 😂
But Rowland's use of words to describe the scenes is breathtaking. A complete anthology of words to make you see, hear, smell and nearly taste what you're reading.
Not one for you if you have a weak stomach..I on the other hand loved it!! (Yeah I'm bonkers) 😂

Tongue Wrestling For Tonsil Stones
By Rowland Bercy Jr.
🌟🌟🌟🌟
This is a pretty disgusting story of a guy, Roger, who is diagnosed with a medical condition which has changed his smelling and tasting senses.
The story focuses on Roger needing to fulfill his strong desire for tonsil stones. The lengths he goes to in order to acquire these, is pretty intense and crazy! But when you know what you want, you can’t fault someone for going after it!
This book is very graphic and raunchy! 🤢 I’m pretty sure my eyes were bulging out as I read this story! 👀
Even though the storyline is rather gross, it is well written and (mostly) enjoyable! 😜
This is my first read from the author, but I’ll be grabbing more of his books!!

Gross
This story was horrifying. Unfortunately, the author’s writing drew me in as if I were witnessing every scene. That would’ve been desirable if the subject matter were different, lol. I didn’t vomit while reading it which says a lot for my tolerance of all things grossly terrifying. I’m avoiding all Roger’s moving forward. The ending was a nice surprise.

Roger has a strange fetish for tonsil stones. He can smell them from a mile away, and when he finally eats them, it's like a drug he's never had. His living conditions are just as gross but he's gotten used to the fuck. When he has a procedure one day, something in him snaps and reverses his senses. What once smelled disgusting, now smells delicious and inviting. This makes Roger's addiction that much easier to live with
Wow...
Rowland can really paint a picture. I gagged throughout this short story. The descriptions were on point and smelly, the apartment was rancid, and this was all extremely entertaining. I enjoy Rowlands writing immensely and this was another great read from him. If you're looking for some really good gross out content that you can smell through the pages, look no further!

This was by far the grossest and funniest thing I have ever read. If you like a good gag worthy read, you need to be introduced to Rowland Bercy Jr’s writing. Loved all the ways he came up with to describe how stinky something is. Well done! Look forward to reading more from this author!

Tongue Wrestling for Tonsil Stones is a gut-punch of a book, the kind of splatterpunk filth that makes you laugh, cringe, and reconsider your life choices all in the span of a single paragraph. If you like your horror mean, your satire razor-sharp, and your body horror dripping with every bodily fluid imaginable, this is the book for you.
From the first page, it’s clear that this story isn’t here to hold your hand—it’s here to choke you with it. The prose is as relentless as the subject matter, delivering scenes of grotesque intimacy that make you squirm in the best way possible. There’s a punk rock sensibility to the whole thing, an unapologetic middle finger to good taste while still weaving in enough wit and bleak social commentary to make it more than just shock for shock’s sake.
Without spoiling too much, let’s just say the plot takes unexpected turns, diving headfirst into depravity while somehow making you care about the absolute freaks populating its world. It’s disgusting, it’s hilarious, and it’s got more heart than it has any right to.
If you’re a fan of authors like Edward Lee, Wrath James White, or anyone who thinks horror should be both extreme and intelligent, Tongue Wrestling for Tonsil Stones is a must-read. Just don’t eat anything before diving in.

This was by far the grossest thing I've ever read. I read gross shit and it doesn't bother me but mouth shit and specifically tonsil stones get me. It's a very short book but took an hour or two for me to finish. Then it got cute but I was still grossed out I am as I'm writing. So yeah probably the most successful extreme book in the indie scene for me so far.
