This was by far the longest and creepiest 178 pages, I have ever read! Ashley is a broken man. His son disappeared as a young boy and his wife has died from cancer. While dealing with his grief, he creates a ritual, he thinks can cure people of their personal pain, depression, and grief. The ritual requires him to bury you, in a casket, underground. He leaves you down there for about 30 minutes and then digs you up. Afterward, you are grateful and cured of the demons that haunt you, so he says. 

Ashley meets Jinx, while online. Jinx maybe interested in the ritual but, first, they start to share grotesque stories with one another. These stories are sexual, gay, violent, cannabalistic, and definitely disturbing. Finally, when Ashley and Jinx meet up for the ritual, Jinx tells him the final story and it’s the most horrific one yet!

Ive read several LaRocca’s and for me, this has to be the craziest Ive ever read, while still making perfect sense. Of course peace can be found in death! 

I received the audio version from NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing and the narrator, Andrew Eiden did a great job! I was on a ladder putting up curtains when Jinx started telling one of his stories, I found my self frozen on the ladder somewhere in-between shock, surprise, maybe turned on..and afraid?! Lol, how that guy read all of that with a straight face and no quivering in his voice is beyond me. Goodread! 5 stars from me!
