Rural Decay by Jason Nickey
🌟🌟🌟🌟🪓 (4.5 rating)
This is an intense, splatter punk horror novella! It’s a little hard to review because my jaw was wide open the whole story, but the book is very well written!! It’s a rough one with lots of triggers and tough/dark scenes. It’s very descriptive, which sometimes made several of the scenes hard to read.
This story follows Jack, as a young boy living with his father, and the exploits that his father has within his lifestyle. Jack looks up to his dad and wants to follow in his footsteps, which is not a pleasant path. There’s lots of emotional drama in this story!

The narrator did a great job too!

Deeply emotional and intense!

There's a reason I've been hearing so much about Jason Nickey... this story. This story is bizarrely heart-warming for being a story about a serial killer and his father-idolizing son. The narrator brings the characters and their hearts into the performance. Frok the innocence, awe, and child-like fascination of the son to the caring, yet straightforwardness of the father, who is a man's man. I can't go into the story much more without spoiling anything... but definitely worth the listen. Not for the weak of stomach nor the closed of mind, as any good extreme horror or splatterpunk is.

A short, but brutal listen.

Jason Nickey slayed me with this book. The writing was fast paced and engrossing, making me want to go "just one more chapter." This is a tale of a bond forged between father and son with more twists and turns than a country road.
Fans of extreme horror will love this one! And the narrator brought this story to life perfectly. 10/10.

One shocking turn after the next!

Jason Nickey has a way of writing that it beautifully unsettling and disturbing. He hits so many taboo emotions and somehow makes you feel somewhat bad for the character Jack even tho Jack is well....Jack.

gross factor
