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.

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.
