Welcome back to Dark Reads, today I have a book review for Bloat by Rob Ulitski.
Bloat is an extreme Horror short story so check your triggers if you need to.
This is a short story at around 28 pages but wow it packs a punch!
One day she receives a snack in the post which she eats on her livestream, and lets just say things go all kinds of wrong after she tries it… I don’t want to say much more on the plot as the book is so short I don’t want to spoil anything!
The story follows a character called Sydney, she makes a living online, live streaming herself eating for her followers. As a creator Sydney often receives fan mail, gifts and food items that her fans would like to see her eat on camera.
Now, l am a big fan of Body Horror so this hit all the right marks for me and is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me.
It’s quick, to the point and disgusting!
Rob does a really good job of really going into detail about what is happening to her body, it’s one of my favourite things with this type of horror, the progression of what is happening to the body. This was done so well that you kind of feel like you are watching what is happening rather than reading it!
If you are a fan of body horror and are ready for this little gross fest you should definitely pick Bloat up, its available via Godless and is such a quick fun little read.
Have you read Bloat? I would love to hear your thoughts!
I also posted a TikTok review for this book and you can give it a watch here.
