Until the arrival of Yogi Arjunda of the Temple of Physical Enlightenment. He claims to be able to help Jason, to be able to give him a life of more than agony. But the treatment leaves Jason changed and he wants to share what he learned. He wants to share his pain . . .

This book is about a boy living with an unimaginable condition—sensory overload so severe that everything causes him excruciating pain. It’s a story that forces you to ask: What would you do for your child? Would you take on their pain? Feel every ounce of their suffering if it meant they could find relief? Beyond this, the book delves into teenage curiosity, exploring the tangled web of pain, pleasure, and revenge. The narrative blends the cruelty of youth with the complexities of human emotion. Suffice it to say, this is extreme horror at its core—and it’s a hell of a ride (I was going to write, ‘It’s a painful ride’… but it was way too lame).

An intense, brutal read that keeps you on edge before going absolutely barbaric. This is my second Wrath James White book and definitely won't be will last. Great book.

A sick, violent and depraved book full of brutality. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer. It felt like there was more story to tell, but this is still a badass read for sure.

A gruesome story of pain, pleasure, and the extent a mother and father will go for their son. Are their sacrifices truly what he needs?

OMG - what a story!
I'm pissed that I haven't read it until now!
BUT... on the other hand... I'm happy that I just read this kick-ass story!
I often wonder how soo many of the books that I own slip through the cracks...
I need to take better care with my reading lists - I've started 3 books this week that I have already read, and I finally read this book - which I thought I already finished...
ouch
my brain

The doctors told Edward that his baby boy wouldn’t live past his first year. Jason somehow lived seventeen. Each year had removed a little more of the boy’s humanity, made him a little less like everyone else around him. Part of Edward’s helplessness had always been that he could not understand his own child. Now he would. Now he would finally know his pain.

I saw this novella mentioned on a reddit thread discussing the most disturbing books people have ever read. The premise sounded interesting enough, and at just over 100 pages, it was a quick read.
His Pain is just gross. Immediately on the first page, a woman giving birth compares her pain to being raped by an elephant. This kind of vulgar sexual violence is prevalent throughout the rest of the story.
The only three female characters in His Pain are, or formerly were, sex workers. Or as they are exclusively referred to in this book, "whores". And with the way the narrative presents them implies that they deserve what happens to them. It just seemed unnecessarily cruel to them. While the male characters get quick or "fade to black" deaths. There's just this underlying misogyny that is horrific, but not in the fun horror kind of way. It was just crude and needlessly sadistic.
I don't think this kind of horror is for me. But I was intrigued enough to see it through to the end. So I can give credit to the writing, I just didn't enjoy the subject matter.

WJW never fails to make me feel like I belong in jail
September 15, 2025
This is a work by Wrath James White which had been gathering proverbial dust in my Unread Book library for just too long so I decided to correct my irrational procrastination. WJW is one of my very favorite authors of Extreme Horror. He can do no wrong in my book. I never fail to be impressed by his range of ripe material for his mind and incalculable talent to drape in crimson extreme horror. His stories are so remarkably varied, well researched, and skillfully chillingly plotted.
His Pain is unlikely to be a fan favorite, but when it comes to WJW his works are all favorites of mine. It was a riveting read, engaging intellectually, and the horrific blood and gore which covered the gut wrenching story was like hot fudge topping. It was essential to the plot in order to finish the recipe and to illustrate the point of the story and savagely drive it home.
I awarded the short read 5 Stars because it was concise yet expressive and emotionally challenging. Moreover, it was still another layer of versatility in the quiver of original plots WJW is intellectually gifted enough to possess and impress his fans with innumerable times.

Jason is in insurmountable amounts of pain. From the day he was born he was in pain, every noise, every touch was torture to him. Now he’s 17 years old and his mom has tried everything, when she stumbles upon a yogi who specializes in pain management via the mind, she realizes it’s her last hope. When he finally got the help he needed he thinks everyone should know the pleasure of pain.
This was such an amazing story. I thought the concept was so unique and fun. The characters were so well written and you genuinely felt for every single one of them at some point. Wrath is phenomenal for his pain and sexuality and this is no exception. Definitely would recommend this book!

Although this book was written a number of years ago and published by small press publisher, Delirium Books, this is probably my favorite story by Wrath James White. He takes a basic premise and runs with it to completion in the most hardcore and visceral way. I honestly believe he has now taken the crown away from author Edward Lee as the new king of hardcore horror fiction.
You never know what to expect from one moment to the next, and as events progress into the most horrific and disturbing ways, you tell yourself that it surely cannot get any worse, only to be wrong once again. I think if you can handle the sickening brutality of this story, you can pretty much stomach anything. But the difference with Wrath James White, is that he writes with meaning and intelligence rather than trying to focus on just shock value. It’s shocking, sure, but that is secondary to the story and characters.
The only flaw I found in the book was a couple of unfortunate typos that Deadite Press should have caught, especially since this is a reprint and they had ample time to correct these mistakes. Other than that, I consider this to be Wrath’s masterpiece and would steer any horror fan who seeks the most brutal experience possible, to pick this book up. But be warned. Although this is not scary in a frightening sense, it is as savage and perverse as you can get.

This was my first book by Wrath James White and I loved it!
This was a very entertaining story, about someone who experiences pain all the time. It's very depressing, and full of graphic scenes!

this was an intense, powerful, and gripping read. everything about it was incredible. Wrath James White is not for everyone,his horror is visual, unnerving, disgusting and terrible. The "monsters" are us. People. The blood is spilled realistically, and copiously. Furthermore, there is no suggestion of violence, no romancing about it. we are shown the violence with unblinking clarity.
That is not to say that there is no story, or that the violence and gore take the front seat. No.
We are never in doubt as to what the point of the story is: that violence is disgusting, brutal, real and horrible. And most importantly, violence is a part of who we are as people. We need it. Books like this help us to better understand our love affair with violence by shining a light on the bloody corner of our mind's where things like this reside. We are forced to look at it, and forced to squirm uncomfortably when we realize that not only can we not look away, but we actually want to see more. We want to push the experience as far as we can.
That is where Wrath James White comes in. With "His Pain" as with his other books, he takes us so far down the rabbit hole we begin to lose our way. But, in the end, he shows us. We emerge as his characters emerge from their adventures: tired, half-mad, covered in blood and gore. But we have learned something.
About man, and more importantly, about ourselves.
Wrath James White shows us we are animals.
"His Pain" is really a story about love. The love of a Mother for her Son. The Love of a Husband for his Wife. The love of a Yogi and all of Mankind.
It is also about pain, and how closely pain and pleasure are related.
The writing is solid, the characters realistic, and the dialogue natural and easy.
If you can stomach it, I highly recommend it.

His Pain is a novella of physical pain and psychological torment, a tale of perception and ignorance and enlightenment.
It starts off with a bang, vivid and succinct in its shocking and horrifying story set-up. The transition from set-up to storyline is smooth as dark silk, incorporating expert characterization without breaking stride. Wrath’s use of thought, action, and dialog to illustrate his characters never fails to impress.
Yes, this is a very well written story.
And it is very gruesome.
It is gruesome in content, wording, and concept.
His Pain is fast-paced, gripping, and horrifying. The story’s flow leaves no room for mental recovery as each sentence takes you further into the gruesome pit of horror that is chronic pain. In addition to gut-wrenching scenes and heart-wrenching characters, this darkly powerful and disturbingly entertaining story illustrates in graphic (perhaps) exaggeration what it is like to live with chronic pain, both as the patient and as the loved ones. The overblown (hopefully) reality of the story concept is perhaps the most horrifying part of all.
Obligatory Warning: This is extreme horror skillfully and eloquently presented without filter or remorse. Not for those of delicate constitutions.

exploitative shock horror is bad enough when it’s written well. on a basic level, the narrative is clumsy and poorly structured. the point of view shifts so oddly that it’s clearly not intentionally experimental. there are grammatical errors on nearly every page. white doesn’t even consistently use commas in the same way from sentence to sentence. the story moves entirely too fast. nothing described in this story is truly horrifying—it’s just 80 pages of try-hard shocking words thrown together. the concept has so much potential, but there is nothing of substance behind the words “blood,” “cock,” and “gore.” after a while, the reader becomes used to it, and the shock stops. if you need to have your main character state the “point” of your story through dialogue to another character at the end of your story, that means you didn’t get it across in the story, making it meaningless. that, or you don’t trust your reader to understand something as banal as “i want you to know my suffering” that the reader was beaten over the head with.

Mein erster James White und ich glaube meine Erwartungen waren zu hoch. Die Geschichte uns wie mich der Autor mitnahm fand ich gut aber hätte er die Geschichte vertieft und besser ausgebaut, wäre es für mich spannender gewesen.
Für mich reihten sich alles was ich an Splatter kenne aneinander ohne mich wirklich zu schocken. Teilweise fand ich es eher störend als das es mich abgeholt hätte. Vielleicht bin ich auch schon abgestumpft was Festa extem angeht.

Holy Shit............That was a intense story!! I don't even know what to say or feel. It was so good!!
Wow, what a story!! I may need to sit and process this one for a bit.
Happy Reading and Splatter On.....

Such an interesting concept! The gore was great too. There were a few scenes (not the gory ones… if you know you know) that made me me want to erase my memory. At least this time I knew what I was getting myself into.

2.5 ⭐️ rounded up bc i’m a good guy
the premise for this was actually really interesting and i enjoyed it in the beginning, however it did what all splatterpunk written by men does and just turned into a porn-fest of excessive sexual and general violence against women. what a shocker.
i wish this book had been written from the perspective of the central character from the beginning, detailing more of the horror of being trapped in your own head with nothing but pain as your company, cut off from everything else in the world — THAT is what drew me to this book, the thought of that. did i get it though? nope!
even the element of that yogi helping him get ahead of his pain was okay to me, but once that sexual element came in the book just completely derailed and went sharply downhill.
i don’t even care enough to go into all the ways that stuff was just incredibly boring and overdone.
now another thing that doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme of things but that i can’t stop thinking about — why did the mother have to have a background of being sexually promiscuous in her youth, and why the fuck did we need a comment of how she is into black men? telling the story from the mom’s perspective generally felt really boring and pointless, but these elements made it even more ridiculous.
adding this to the list of books with really interesting premises that i wish had landed in someone else’s hands because the authors that did work with them fumbled the bag, so to speak.

"Something ripped as Melanie contracted both her abdominal and kegel muscles
and pushed with all she was worth. The infant split open her sex as its body
progressed through her cervix, dilating it as if she were being raped by an
elephant."
The opening to the book. Brace yourself. This book is insane. I thought to start with this story was going to be a flop for me, but it quickly turned itself around. The events that take place in this book are absolutely insane, but it is so well written, that the author explains the actions of the characters is such a way, that it completely makes sense, even though you know what is happening is completely wrong, but it is completely right for the characters. It is hard to explain, but its a manic crazy great story. I loved it. I think the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I didn't want to come across as a complete sicko.... but I did love it.

Not that Wrath James White would ever need my endorsement, but damn! I absolutely loved this! We follow a MC who was born with a condition that leads him to experience every sensation heightened to the point of excruciating pain. I love stories that showcase the dark repercussions of subjecting someone to nonstop agony, and this was that! Also, the intermingling of sexual pleasure with physical torment (in one of the most WTF scenes I’ve ever read) is also something I love to read about. Love me some good violent fucking. And that ending had me HOWLING. Gross, funny, and oddly poignant. Great stuff. What to pick up next?

Thats another WJW ticked off the TBR, and what a book!!
When Jason is taught to "enjoy" his eternal pain, he wants to make sure that others get to feel it too, he wants to spread his discovery with everyone....
This book was brutal and horrifying and switches from heartbreak to horror and back again constantly, until the fantastic ending!
It was intense and gripping and I loved it!! 🖤

Do you want to feel sick to your stomach? Do you want to be able to dislike every character the story adds? Do you want graphic and depraved descriptions of every bodily fluid? Read this book. It's disgusting, it's depraved, it's grotesque and it's sickening. Exactly what I expected from WJW
August 31, 2024
This book has everything I want from my extreme horror. Great characters that I deeply cared for, an unique premise, an unpredictable plot and some disturbing gore. Highly recommended!

3,5 Sterne
Vorab:
Es ist wirklich ein Extrem Horror Buch und ich spreche allgemeine Triggerwarnungen für detailreiche ausgeschriebene Sexszenen, sehr hohe Gewalt und auch sexuelle Gewalt aus. Es gibt auch noch speziellere Themen, die einen triggern können, aber die würden auch spoilern. Also allgemeine Vorsicht ist zu genießen bei diesem Buch.
Nun zu meiner Bewertung: Das Buch ist mein erstes Extreme Horror Buch und würde sagen, es ist so der mittlere Einstieg. Es könnte schlimmer sein, aber es könnte wirklich "leichtere" Bücher geben und würde es tatsächlich nicht als Einstieg für Extreme Horror empfehlen. 😅
Es fing erst ganz "normal" an und bis zu etwa 40 % könnte man meinen, es sei ein wirklich guter Horrorroman, aber dann fing das Extreme an und es wechselte sich mit kurzen nicht so extreme Szenen ab. So war das doch etwas ertragbar, dafür waren die extremen Sachen wirklich extrem. Teilweise wollte ich nicht weiterlesen wie bei einen Horrorfilm, bei den man nicht hingucken will.
Davon aber ab, gefiel mir echt die Story und die Kernidee, dass der Junge ganze Zeit Schmerz empfindet und was er daraus gemacht hat ...
Der Schreibstil war auch erstaunlicherweise gut. Wenn der Inhalt nicht wäre, könnte man sagen, dass das Buch sich flüssig lesen würde. Ich bin froh, dass es wirklich nicht nur extrem war, sondern dass es doch etwas tiefgründiger war. Es hat irgendwie ... Sinn ergeben?
Wer also schon mal Extrem Horror gelesen hat oder sich wirklich sicher ist, dass man sowas abkann, würde ich das Buch empfehlen. Ansonsten würde ich es grundsätzlich nicht für jeden empfehlen.
PS: Ich finde das englische Paperback-Cover richtig geil. Dafür habe ich es auch auf vier Sterne aufgerundet.

I was honestly intrigued by the premise, but this may well be the worst book I ever read.
Unconcievably flat characters frame a nonexistent plot. Extreme horror books could be so much more than just a checklist of taboos to break pro forma, without any rhyme or reason. What an utter waste of potential, and what a shameful stain upon the genre.
This isn't horror anymore: It's just incest porn. At no point did this book even try to be scary.
It's not even good gore. It simply relies on shock value to prey on naive, impressionable minds by saying scary words like "whore".
Besides, the writing is abysmal. It reads like word vomit stuffed with as many taboo catchwords as possible. If you get the tingles reading the word "cock", I suggest perusing the nearest public bathroom stall. The graffiti there may be more entertaining, coherent, and grammatically correct than this novel.
But I think what upsets me the most is that there are real horrors in this world, and the author obviously knows nothing of them.
Rape is real, but the author most definitely doesn't have the faintest idea what it is. Misogyny is real, and the author hardly even tries to conceal his own. Maybe the biggest problem here is that the author himself does not understand any of his own characters.
And he certainly does not understand His Pain.

Jason was born in pain. Literally. Right when he came out of his mom's womb, he felt nothing but pain. He couldn't be talked to, touched, held, because it gave him immense pain. The doctors told his parents that he wouldn't survive for long but 17 years later and Jason is confined to a padded room, sleeping in a vacuum sealed bag for his protection.
Melanie loved her baby boy and would do just about anything to help him out. One day she sees a show about a Yogi that can spiritually heal health issues and decides to email him. Once he arrives he immediately starts to work with Jason. Well, the Yogi successfully helps Jason but it comes with a deadly outcome
This was a ride! The Yogi kinda creeped me out and I enjoyed that! Seeing Jason change his ways was great! Horny ass Melanie made me laugh with the Yogi, girl, relax 😂😂 Another fun one from Wrath!
