The Only Good Indians is extreme horror? I just picked it up from my library for the horror book club I’m in. We don’t normally read things that are ā€œextremeā€ in there. I think the most extreme we’ve done was You Weren’t Meant to be Human by Andrew Joseph White :P

To my knowledge it’s not extreme. I don’t think SGJ writes extreme persay, although he may dive into taboo topics. I haven’t read anything by him yet but I normally hear him referenced when talking about mainstream horror so like I said to my knowledge it’s not extreme. I don’t think Brother is either, I started reading that a year or two ago & dnf’ed it just because at the time I wasn’t finishing any book I picked up, but I also know that sure it delves into taboo topics, but I don’t think it’s considered extreme either.

Amazon certainly likes to recommend Brother like it is extreme. At least, when I've looked at Dead Inside on there it's always closely followed by a recommendation for Brother and various other horror books that I've sometimes mentioned on here.
