Dead Inside by Chandler Morrison | extreme horror book review with Hailey Hughes

[@rokinjaguar]

"These characters had more depth and backstory than any character in Fourth Wing." Carlos ATE in this one 💀💀💀💀💀

I finished this book in one long sitting that ended at 5AM this morning. I LOVED IT. Everything y'all said on this podcast: I agree. I saw it as a...very demented rom-com from the early 2010s/mid 00s, but with some depth to it. Yes, obviously the book doesn't take itself seriously and pokes a ton of fun at the whole scene, you gotta be blind to think the main character is NOT satire, come on. Also, I loved the "CONSIDER THIS A TRIGGER WARNING" callout before the very first necrophilia scene...it had me in stitches because it was so painfully clear to me from that moment what Morrison was trying to do. I was cackling like a witch.

Haven’t read the book but love watching these break downs! “We need to talk about Tamera” shook me thought you were talking about me for a second😅 (that’s my name lol)

[@controlyourshelf]

OMG! Imagine we just put a random intervention for you in the middle of this video while talking about this crazy book 😂

[@user-mr1qw2bl6w]

I had a dream inspired by this episode last night and I'm so upset 😭

[@controlyourshelf]

so sorry to you 🥲

[@NicolesBookishNook]

Chandler is amazing and he got me back into reading satire 😂❤

[@ZoeForeverReading]

I absolutely loved this book. I couldn’t put it down. Is it wrong that I didn’t find it as bad or hard to read as I expected 😂 not sure what that says about me

[@anomaliecosmos]

"Can you imagine if in fantasy..." sadly it's just a truth of the way some people will defend works they love, I have definitely seen that sort of rhetoric aimed at people who criticize a magic system. Also a common response when someone criticizes inconsistent characterization in ANY genre, "humans ARE inconsistent it was totally on purpose!" I certainly agree that that doesn't exempt any genre from criticism, I just think they all have a seat at the "victims of this particular flavor of irrational defense" support group.

[@Nina-hf5uv]

I read the Book in three days to watch this video and the more I kept on going the more I was wondering what you would say about it!

[@controlyourshelf]

Did we comment the way you expected??? 🤣

[@lucasm.t.8064]

The main character reminded me of a Brazilian book called Good Morning, Verônica (written by Raphael Montes and Ilana Casoy). Unfortunately I don't think there is an English edition yet, and the series on Netflix removed the whole part about... the guy with a ~disturbingly unique taste in women~

[@pamelaviana1389]

I am traumatized 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@controlyourshelf]

We are too 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

[@kerrysouder4541]

having now read both Dead Inside and Fourth Wing, I am officially agreeing with Carlos about these characters having more depth than any person in Fourth Wing 😂

[@controlyourshelf]

the hot takes are taking over 🙈

[@tubeguito9555]

Hi, congratulations for your reviews. I have always followed your advice. I was really struck by the beauty of "Motion Detection", a thriller book that I found by chance on Amz while looking for a new book. The cover intrigued me, it's an unusual book with a spectacular ending, I highly recommend it!

[@controlyourshelf]

Thanks for the rec!!

[@lukewarmcoffee5743]

I can't tell if I'm nauseous because I'm nauseous or if I'm nauseous from listening to ya'll talk about this book 🤢😭 I've only read one horror book let alone anything in extreme horror and... I've never understood how books could be scary but now I understand it's not about being scared, it's about being horrified. Anyways. Excuse me while I go put on the fluffiest, most comforting anime I can find.

[@controlyourshelf]

All of our tummies hurt, too 🙃 But fluffy tv always helps!!!
