Welcome to Litsy!

So I am fully in the mood for fall and decided to buy my first spooky blind date with a book box! It was soooo cute! I wasn‘t crazy about the plastic cup included- it got bent in the box and didn‘t match the glass/metal reusable cups in the website photos - but everything else was great! I‘m a little nervous about the book as it seems really graphic but I‘ll give it a try in October for spooky season 😳.

Imagine if one major decision jumped you into an unforgiving place. A place so bad, hell is just slightly worse. Well, I can say for sure. I would take my 50/50 shot. I liked the book, it goes through a bleak stage of madness and survival. But, the ending is at least worth it all.

I had to cut half the cover of this book off to get my dogs reaction because it perfectly sums up this book. So I‘m not going to lie, this book is pretty gruesome. I definitely like the horror genre but this book was just a little too far out there for me. It was almost borderline fantasy with all the creatures in the black farm. The story was decent and what made it better was the underlying messages in it. If disgusted easily do not read.

Not for the faint-hearted. Although packed with itense gore and extreme violence, there is a riveting story underneath, filled with anxiety inducing suspense and fantastic world building. Albeit a world you would never want to end up in.

In this episode, I review the splatterpunk cult classic, "The Black Farm" by Elias Witherow.

5 Stars. This one is a bit gritty/gory BUT I loved it. It‘s a story about a couple named Nick and Jess and they decide to commit suicide after Jess has a miscarriage. Once they are dead, they arrive in a world, named the Black Farm, where all the suicides go. Nick sets out to find Jess and finds terror, torture and other ungodly things. While the theme of the books is pretty dark, I loved the story. This book isn‘t for everyone so be aware.
