Vigo

by Kelvin V.A. Allison

Vigo loves Rowena.
It's a pure love.
A real love.
A love that knows no boundaries.
Well, except the fact that she has no idea he exists.

But that's a minor blip to Vigo.
All he needs to do is stop his insane father Jotun, and his inbred sibling-cousins Swiss Cheese, Piggy and Sweetheart from getting their hands on her first and everything will surely work out fine.
After all, the path of true lust never did run smoothly...

This was unhinged asf hahahah I haven’t read anything this crazy in a while

For fans of provocative literature exploring themes of sex, inbreds, and privacy invasion, this book is a worthwhile read. As my introduction to Kelvin's writing, I was thoroughly impressed. The narrative was unapologetic, and the conclusion was startling. Kelvin would benefit from transforming this book into a series, as I am intrigued by the complexities of this eccentric family.

OK, this was indeed f**** up. The warning on the cover is no gimmick. Honestly. It's extreme, very extreme (extreme squared, so to speak) family horror, the kind that leaves scars, but will make extreme horror veterans have a great laugh as well. That's because it's meant to feel like an extreme horror spoof of the Addams family (the similarity is even mentioned in the story twice). It's dark comedy, or, to stress the point again, extreme horror comedy. Kelvin makes no concessions to delicate sensitivities, almost pressing the point again and again that this is one messed up family, toxic, dysfunctional, disgusting; some gag-inducing situation is portrayed on every page.

So why read this? Well, the answer is pretty simple: if your stomach can handle vividly described scenes of domestic abuse, detailed images of perverted interfamily relationships led by a repulsive patriarch, where everything's meant to be taken absolutely literally, where the twists are so dark you'll need to put the book down begging for some breathing space, where the humor's so dry your skin will grow itchy, then you will be entertained, nay, thrilled and dazzled by Kelvin's audacity and sick imagination.

I myself would ask for an encore! That ending sure seems to imply we'll see Vigo again. Kudos, dear Kelvin - you've done it again!

So, this was my introduction to Kelvin's work, and boy, what a way to get acquainted. I only read this in two sessions because I had to get some sleep. This is a vile, depraved short story, and I'm here for it.

The first page reels you in, making your stomach churn, but if you're like me, that's exactly why you keep turning the pages. I LOVED these characters, their nicknames? Perfect. How they were described from Vigo's POV, yes. That twist, followed by another twist? Oof, poor Rowena; I was rooting for her low-key.

I read there's going to be a sequel, and I wish I had it yesterday. Can't wait to dive into more books written by Kelvin—also, that cover.

Vigo is a fella who lives with his parents and siblings. Vigo has an "eye" for Rowena. Does she know he exists? Does it matter? Vigo has bigger problems now! Something has happened, and if Dad finds out, Vigo's dead. This is gonna be a night to remember. Wow! This story had me clutching my pearls. This is the stuff that makes me continue reading.

I can’t even tell you have vile and absolutely disgusting this book was. I’ve read a few gross books but this was the icing on the cake. Horrendous. Anyways, 10/10 tho, the book did its job. It left me having to put it down a few time, gave me literal goosebumps
