"Vigo" was my introduction to Kelvin V.A. Allison's work, and I remember how I was feeling while reading that and everything I said after that. You would think I've learned my lesson, but noooo.. I now have to say, "Please, Sir, I need it." 🥺👉🏻👈🏻 for every book that he will release. That's how I ended up in this mess.
In PRICKLES, we meet a trio of homeless people who are invited into the soon-to-be infamous Johannsen Manor by none other than Jotus Johannsen himself, so that they can play games all night long for a chance to win lots of money that the winner can use to turn his/her life around. Now, if you haven't read "Vigo" yet, you might say, "I see no problem!" or "That sounds fun." to which I will say, "Oh, my sweet summer child.." like a toothless, wise hag.. because apparently reading these two books taught me a lot about life and made me age 70 years, just like that.
In case you have read "Vigo" first and you are now wandering down this path littered with dead animals, broken bottles, discarded hypodermic needles, and unsuspecting hedgehogs, because you want more, I beg you to re-consider. You still have time to turn around. Protect the last bit of sanity you have left. Or not. Do what you want; I am not your mother.

This has got to be my favorite prequel for a series! You follow Prickles as he and 2 of his friend meet up with some of the characters from Vigo. Prickles and his friend are thrust into a horrific games tournament that was devised by Jotun. So be prepared for a crazy ride and see who will survive the night!

disgustaaaaaang.
The prequel to Vigo gives us an insight into the horrors that created Vigo.
A homeless man with a kink for hedgehogs, an old whore, a nonce all taken part in a game to win money and ultimately end their poverty.
what comes next is a bunch of rich asshats using the friends as entertainment. The kills are brutal, the story is great, you find yourself rooting for despicable humans, because they're less despicable than others!
A solid 5/5 🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔

I didn't process that it was an addition to our beloved Vigo. But I was presently surprised to see him appear. Some really really fucked up shit

"PRICKLES" is a short prequel to "VIGO," Allison's vomit-inducing family horror story. In this we take a step back in timw, and see the same depraved family through the eyes of a group of unfortunates: four people (two homeless men, one homeless woman, and a bonus participant I won't say anything about) are forced to provide sick entertainment for the patriarch of the family, who seems to have come up with his own version of the Squid Game challenges before such a thing was trendy. Only these games that daddy likes are so vile and revolting and dehumanizing, it soon becomes apparent that not even survival guarantees victory!
The book's totally hardcore; gory, shocking, and certainly not for the sensitive. These people are perverts. Even their perversions have perversions. And no, the book carries absolutely no deep ethical meaning. It's just fun - extreme horror fun, mind.
(So why the hedgehog on the cover? This cute spiny mammal, this solid ball of spikes - might it be a metaphor for the cruel individualism of contemporary urban life? Ugh. Well, no. You really don't want to know, not really. Trust me. I myself regret finding out. But whether you like it or not, you WILL understand what the cover's all about a few pages into the book!)
