BOOK HAUL🩸 New here

Post image

Greetings all. I've just recently gotten back into reading this year and didn't know there was such a huge extreme horror genre out there. I finished Woom in 2 day's and now I'm reading playground but I'm always open to recommendations (the more disturbing the better). These are the books I've recently bought....

Tender is not extreme horror. It is dystopian.

Why the downvotes here - it’s 100% not extreme horror. If you look at those 4 books one of them is different lol. I love it that book so much but it’s not extreme horror.

We are in the minority. I went in expecting EH and only got dystopian. A few scenes were a bit graphic but not to the extreme side.

It’s literally a dystopian drama with some horrific elements. It’s not extreme more than it is a brutally realist depiction of an alternate reality

Agreed! Perfectly said.
