5/11/2023 0 Comments Snuff by Eric Enck![]() ![]() ![]() It’s amazing to me that such a psychotic story could be so intelligently written, but Enck and Huber have accomplished this feat. However, I persevered, resisting the urge to shut the book and run to the bathroom to wretch, because of how well the novel is written. This is definitely not a novel for the weak of stomach even I, a tried and true horror fan, had a hard time with many of the passages due to their graphic content. Readers will have to have the ability to step back and take the piece as a whole, to see the greater message about the insane level of brutality in our culture and the effects of abuse on the human psyche it is attempting to deliver, rather than focusing in on each grisly detail. Especially women since this is a novel whose main character is acting out his hatred for women due to the abuse he suffered at the hands of his foster mother in the past. I imagine it will probably be hard for many to get through because of the unimaginable level of brutality that takes place, page after bloodied page. SNUFF is by far the single most disturbing piece of literature I have ever read. ![]()
