The Gory Hole: A short extreme horror story from the author of Vanity Kills & Mantis by Erica Summers
3.0
This book is probably exactly what you’re already thinking about— it’s easy to put two and two together.
Darren hates his family. He wishes they’d all get hit by a semi-truck and die so that he’d find some relief. He thinks his two children are gremlins, life with the family is boring and lackluster, they spend all of his money, but most of all— he really hates his wife.
With his sexless, empty marriage he decides to cheat— well, again. It’s been something he’s done on every family trip, so why should this getaway to Florida be any different?
It’s definitely different.
So fiendish and desperate to find a quickie with a random woman that he mistakes a dirty gas station’s gory hole for a glory hole.
So, you can imagine what happens and man, is it well deserved.
This book was fun! A prick of a husband finally gets what’s coming. It’s pretty light on the gore, which mainly happens towards the story’s end, but it’s vivid and detailed. Erica Summers still manages to give the reader a pretty solid story in such a quick amount of time. I wanted a bit more, though. It was a great concept and Darren’s experience deserved a few more pages and a bit more of my time. I think ★ ★ ★ stars suits Gory Hole as it was a pretty decent read— just way too short and needed a bit more of that visceral touch.
