Woom by Duncan Ralston, 2016My rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you're looking for a horror novel that will take you to some very dark places, "Woom" by Duncan Ralston is definitely worth checking out. The book follows the story of Colin, a man with a troubled past who becomes obsessed with a cult-like organization called the Woom. Along the way, he hires a prostitute named Kiera and becomes involved with her, while his girlfriend Veronica tries to save him from the dangerous path he's on.
As Colin delves deeper into the world of the Woom, he discovers that their practices are far more sinister than he initially thought. The Woom claims to offer a unique and life-changing experience to its members, but Colin soon realizes that the reality is much more gruesome and twisted.
The writing is graphic and visceral, with a no-holds-barred approach to body horror and sexual violence that is not for the faint of heart. Readers who can handle the graphic descriptions will find "Woom" to be a gripping and unsettling read.
The characters in "Woom" are complex and flawed, with Colin's obsession driving much of the plot. Kiera, the prostitute that Colin hires, also plays a significant role in the story, with her own motivations and secrets that are slowly revealed over the course of the book. Veronica, Colin's girlfriend, is a sympathetic character who tries to help Colin but ultimately becomes caught up in his dangerous obsession.
Overall, "Woom" is a well-crafted and disturbing horror novel that will leave a lasting impression on readers. Just be warned, the graphic descriptions of body horror and sexual violence are not for everyone. For those who can handle it, "Woom" is an enjoyable read in a train-wreck kind of way, with a twisted plot and complex characters that will keep you turning the pages.
I rate the novel 4.75 out of 5 stars.
