The Destruction of Abigail Winters by J. Tarmac is, without exaggeration, one of the most fucked up things I’ve ever read—and I mean that as the highest compliment. This book doesn’t just push boundaries; it grinds them into paste and smears them across the page.
Tarmac takes a huge creative swing with the documentary style format, and it absolutely pays off. The fly-on-the-wall transcripts, behind-the-scenes fragments, and cold, clinical perspectives made the whole thing feel disturbingly real. Like you’re not just reading about Abigail. You’re watching her unravel in real time, powerless to stop it.
And that final scene. My god. I literally sat up straighter. It’s shocking, visceral, and horrifically inevitable in the best way. Tarmac lands the ending with the confidence of someone who knows exactly how far to push a reader before snapping the line.

This book made my blood boil!
The Destruction of Abigail Winter proved I’m not as numb to Extreme Horror as I thought.
Abigail is determined to become the next big adult movie star, no matter the cost. So when the chance to perform with Kassie, one of the industry’s biggest names, comes along, she will do anything, physically and mentally, to make it happen. But Kassie keeps adding more and more challenges to the contract…
This book blends manipulation and stubbornness so well that anxiety becomes part of the reading experience, making the medical and body horror hit faster and harder. It’s shocking, nerve wracking, disturbing and honestly, it might have broken me a little. It’s been 24 hours, and I still haven’t processed everything that happened… or that insane ending!
If you crave intense, graphic scenes, WTF moments, and yes, buttermilk go for it!
I bet this is one of those books that will live rent free in your head for a long time. Just don’t blame me!
4.5⭐

The underground adult entertainment industry. A willing participant for a documentary. Everyone meet Abigail Winter. Abigail is waiting on a biiiiig shoot that’ll boost her career. What ensues is absolute carnage that left me fearing for Abigail’s sanity!
Tarmac creates a character you will love to hate. And I really hated Kassie. The trauma Abigail goes through is unreal and Kassie’s predatory behaviour is truly anxiety inducing.
I really loved the writing in this one. It felt like a documentary and I was totally compelled to read on! I loved it!

Title: The Destruction of Abigail Winter
Genre: Extreme Horror
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Body horror level: ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
I’m writing this, and I still haven’t processed everything that happened in this book.
The Destruction of Abigail Winter tells us the story about Abigail, an actress who works in the adult industry. She’s getting started, she has big dreams, she wants to eat this world, be THE BEST, and she is more than willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. When Kassie J, one of the most important names in the industry wants to work with her, Abigail feels like God himself touched her. Abigail is stubborn, she wants, she needs this opportunity to work. Kassie is a sadist, always asking for more, the more Abigail gives her, the more she asks. This is a dangerous combo, a match made in hell.
The Destruction of Abigail Winter is more than a book, this is a test, a test to your willpower, a test to your guts, a test to your mind. J Tarmac plays with your brain and emotions like the most expert master of puppets. He wants you to feel EVERYTHING from hope, anger, anxiety, fear, disgust, and you will feel all that, because this book is about Abigail and her speedrun to depravity and shattering yes, but it’s also a book about the reader and its strength. J told me, “congratulations! You survived” and yes, that’s exactly the way you feel after finishing this atrocity, and I say this in the best possible way.
One thing I LOVED about this book is how we met the characters, is a written documentary because, the footage was so intense that it couldn’t be released as a movie. The way J Tarmac presents Kassie to us is absolutely brilliant! It reminded me of Bram Stoker’s Dracula in the sense that we only “see” Dracula actually appearing just in a couple of chapters, but his presence is always haunting you through the book. The same thing happens with Kassie J, her presence is behind Abigail (and us) like a heavy shadow all the time.
The Destruction of Abigail Winter is out now! So go, grab your copy and… have fun I guess? Oh! And I really hope you don’t like Buttermilk that much 😅

The Destruction of Abigail Winter is exactly the kind of grim, unflinching horror that leaves you sitting in silence after the final page, unsure whether to breathe, cry, or reread that last chapter just to make sure you really saw what you think you saw.
J. Tarmac isn’t afraid to drag readers into the darkest corners of the human psyche. This book is raw, disturbing, and visually vivid in a way that feels like a lost exploitation film you weren’t supposed to find. Abigail’s spiral is gut-punching, emotional, and brutally honest—capturing horror not just in the violence, but in the unraveling of identity and control.
If you love transgressive, boundary-pushing horror that refuses to play safe, this is absolutely one to pick up. Not for the faint of heart—but for horror fans who crave the extreme, it hits perfectly.

This the first book by J. Tarmac I have read and will definitely be digging into his back catalogue.
In this straight to DVD slice of early 2000s sleaze, a fresh adult performer is followed by a documentary crew who film her as she prepares for an extreme scene with a twisted veteran, kassie. The format of the book is great as it reads as a transcript of the documentary, giving it an original edge.
It’s a page turner than left me riddled with anxiety as to what might become of the main character, Abigail, as she is manipulated (mentally and physically) by the disturbed villain Kassie through a series of cruel challenges which culminate in her performance on camera. I read it in one sitting as I needed to know what happened at the end…. Despite some genuine revulsion at points.
This story is hardcore horror, and I found it to be very disturbing, but it’s not all shock value and you will feel the pain, fear and emotions of Abigail as you read through.
In summary - a disturbing, compelling and well written read!

Rough but great. Loved the documentary style.

The author provided with me a digital ARC for review purposes. Extreme Horror exists in a place of murky waters. Here there be Monsters. Authors worth their salt give fair warning about the severity of the story to come, and the triggers that may arise for the reader.

The Destruction of Abigail Winter is an unapologetic, unflinching, chronicle of the complete and total annihilation of a person. Through the literal lens of a documentary film crew, read through a transcript, that feels like something revealed in a documentary, or discovered in a discarded box, in the back of a closet, of a now defunct office. This magnifies the sense of the "voyeurs perspective" which permeates Tarmacs story. Not only are we bound to see events of this "documentary" through to the end, there is a resigned tragedy, for all these events are in the past. We are merely an audience to echoes, but even so, one can't help but be pulled deeper. Found Footage, where you get a growing sense that "this isn't something I should be seeing".
This is a feeling that goes deeper, beyond Abigail's individual journey. We are led to explore dingy, out of the way corners of the Adult Industry, as it existed in the California of 2004. Abigail is only one of a host of people we meet, whom have elected to take part in their own great and terrible metamorphosis, for money, for desire, for a hint of success. A Masquerade of characters, compromised, twisted, hiding behind masks of indifference and cruelty. I was left wondering, if anyone in this story was left unaltered... I don't think so. Everything is ground down, taken over the edge, all damaged nerves and frayed psyches. This is definitely a book that will sit with you, long after you've finished reading. It demands you ask of yourself "Taken the brink, reduced to a shell, what would inhabit the shell of 'me' on the other side. Would I recognize even a part of that self?

I've had the pleasure of ARC reading this one, and it's a 4.5 rounded up for me.
In The Destruction of Abigail Winters, we follow an up-and-coming p*rn star, Abigail, with big dreams. When her agent secures her a gig with a well-known star in the industry, Kassie, Abigail is determined to show Kassie she's serious about succeeding.
Kassie wants to see how far Abigail is willing to go. Throughout the book, Abigail must accomplish specific tasks in exchange for the promise of becoming the next big thing in the industry, and she pursues them.
I think the format it's written in is interesting; basically, you're following a documentary crew that, in turn, follows the adult entertainer Abigail.
I also liked the twist at the end, I did not see that coming.
