Son of The Slob

Product Information

That was a mistake, though, because I became overly critical when I compared other stories to it – even stories by Beauregard himself. So, scratch that thought, just remember it sits at the top of my imaginary mantel for the genre. Vera is not sharing her bed with her husband Daniel anymore. In fact, they rarely even talk, even though they still live in the same house. He can’t get over the trauma of having lost his own unborn child because of the disgusting deeds The Slob did to his wife. And he can’t forgive Vera for keeping the son of The Slob.

This story is heartbreaking as we are forced into this world, that sadly, besides Harold’s character, is all too real. Depression, overwhelmed parents, an extremely unhealthy home environment for Harold, as well as Daniel and Vera, makes this harder to read. I don’t wanna describe the “horrendous torture” that Vera experienced at the hands of the Slob in great detail because I feel like I’m gonna throw up if I do. I’ve tried my best to be as spoiler free as I can, because I don’t want a single thing spoiled for someone reading it for the first time

WARNING: If you have not read THE SLOB, this review will reveal a lot about how that story ended. Please read it first, to allow yourself the full macabre journey it takes you on, before you read any further.

Yep, loved 'The Slob' and loved 'The Son of Slob' too, so cannot wait to find out what the master, that is AB, has in store for us next. This book reminded me of the Wrong Turn movie series because of the “meat grinder” thingy. Barbaric and filthy disgusting. Aron Beauregard has written an excellent sequel to The Slob. I highly recommend it to splatterpunk readers. And you would rightly say, that nobody is forcing me to read about it. But I like to read splatterpunk stories. Unfortunately for me, sloppy poo stories are trendy nowadays. So I have to endure my discomfort. This time it was worth it. And that’s fair. THE SLOB is extremely graphic, vile, disgusting, disturbing, and upsetting. Readers definitely should be warned.

The character of Vera Harlow is one of survival. When an accidental meeting landed her in The Slob’s filthy abode of horrors, she battled tooth and nail to free herself from his grasp. She managed to get away from the terrible scenario, but the memories of her ordeal are permanently imprinted on her body and mind. THE SLOB opens with a kidnapped woman suffering trauma so we know, upfront, what we’re getting into. Now, this story is a continuation of The Slob which, by it’s own right, is one of the most vile novels on the planet. (And yes, that is a compliment.) But this one digs deeper and if I can get English major-y, in your face with social commentary. Vera’s son is the product of utter depravity. Harold, the sinister seed left by the man who took everything from her, continues to blossom in nauseating fashion. His features and habits are stomach-churning, vividly familiar, and becoming more disturbing by the day. Determined to coax out the bright side of her child that she sees an occasional glimpse of, Vera strives for normalcy. But will the faint light she’s chasing shine through the darkness or will she be left cleaning up another gruesome mess? Beauregard provides all the innards of a daring venture that pushes boundaries...a mentally deranged protagonist, a derailment of sanity and so many vile moments you could fill a large garbage bag with them. Equipped with a nauseating flavor of rotted darkness, this morbid precious morsel will leave a long lasting taste of immoral decadence on the readers tastebuds.
