Dead Inside

Product Information

The first thing to know is that this is a brutally descriptive story about the relationship between a necrophiliac and a cannibal.

First let me start my review by saying to check the trigger warnings before reading this book and it is very dark and contains themes like necrophilia so please be aware of that when reading this book and my review as I will be discussing it. Shamelessly, I'll admit that more than being disturbed or repulsed, I found myself laughing my lungs out while reading it. Helen, on the other hand, likes to eat dead babies and as an obstetrician at the maternity ward she is right at the source to her object of desire. I plan on giving this proper rant review soon, but for now I'll simply say that this is yet another overhyped book written by a man that thinks far too highly of himself and his writing abilities. Overall, Dead Inside was a dark and disturbing read that turned out to be one of the most gripping novels I have read in a while despite its subject matter.MC and Helen are bound to be doomed and despite the short intermezzo encompassing their unity and Helen’s efforts, it is clear from the very first page that there are no rose gardens in their future. If you know anything about me as a reader, you know I can read almost any subject and, as long as the writing is done well, I usually love it.

he doesn’t report her to the authorities and they obviously strike up a very weird kinship, because they’re both fucking psychotic. It is rare that the namelessness of a main character has a meaning, a significance above and beyond giving them a sense of mystery or objectivity. That being said, with the horror genre you very much have to take responsibility for yourself and if you do read extreme horror then that’s up to you. Something I did like about this book is that for the most part it didn’t feel like the author was 100% going for shock value to sell this. I spread her legs a little wider and mount her, groaning as I slide myself into the cold dryness of her unlubricated vaginal canal.Our main character, a young security guard with a sexual appetite for colder women, happens to notice a Female Doctor in his workplace visiting the morgue out of hours and decides to investigate. In this bleak and disturbingly erotic debut novel, iconoclast Chandler Morrison provides readers with a dark exploration of the nature of death, individuality, and generational identity. In either case, both of our main protagonists are seriously disturbed and act on their abnormal proclivities. I’m talking about the kind of book that will be stuck with me for a very long time because this is absolutely insane. And it is indeed possible to see these as victimless crimes since there is no legal entity, no pain, no trauma inflicted.

In saying all that and with the writing being the only saving grace in my opinion I am definitely interested in reading more from Morrison, hopefully something with different subject matter. I’m glad it’s such a successful and harrowing novella for so many other people, but given that my issues with this story were so similar to my issues with the last Chandler Morrison novella I read, I’m thinking it’s time to accept that his writing isn’t for me. If extreme, and I mean EXTREME, sexually explicit horror is something you are interested in then give this one a shot. Almost political in nature is also main character’s (MC) sexual life – although he acknowledges the root of his sexual preference stemming from the fact that dead bodies are safe and can’t hurt you, they won’t lie and cheat and reject you, he also takes a certain kind of pride in the deviancy of that preference. Dead Inside is THE most unsettling, disturbing, and outrageous book I have ever (or will ever) read.

As they unwittingly help each other understand a world in which neither of them seems to belong, they begin to realize what it truly means to be alive…and that it might not always be a good thing. If anything on this list triggers you or would make you feel uncomfortable at all, whatever you do, please do not read this book. Now, before I begin, I have to let you all know about the numerous kinds of trigger warnings in this book because it’s bad.

We follow two people that find each other despite their gross idiosyncrasies - so at the heart of it, it’s a love story. In Chandler Morrison’s Dead Inside it is only later into the book that the namelessness of the lead character, a part-time security guard in a hospital, starts gradually making sense and unveils its true purpose, a meaningful one, which sheds light on every action and every reaction he generates: he doesn’t want to be seen, noticed, to exist even. I feel like all the blood in my body has rushed into my groin, and there’s an undeniable magnetism between our genitalia, pulling me toward her, beckoning me into her. It's like trying to assign a rating to some bloke breaking into your backyard while you're having a barbecue with your mates and throwing a live iguana on the grill – you can't look away, and you probably feel guilty for enjoying it. Along the way, lines will be crossed, taboos will be violated, and common decency will take an extended leave of absence.It’s bizarre, twisted, one of those splatterpunk kinds of books that is just beyond weird and well, disturbing. obviously VERY dark humour, but if you’re into that, you might have a blast reading this just like i did. He has concerns that she is going to eat the baby but she protests saying it is different because its their baby although he doesn’t want to claim it at all.
