Welcome back to Dark Reads. Today I have a review of We Met In The Forums by Rob Ulitski.
Many thanks to Rob for sending me an ARC copy of the book!
Get ready for things to get weird!
The story starts off with Josh and Leo who have ‘met’ in online forums and have become friends, they both share interests in the macabre and all things weird. Over time their online relationship spills over into reality when the two decide to move in together in Josh’s costal hometown of Portsmouth. Shortly after things
Shortly after things in the town start to go very wrong. People start to become unwell and behaving really weird after going into the sea. The symptoms start off like the flu, but when bodies start turning up with yellow fungus and strange injuries with no explanation from any authorities, Josh and Leo decide to start a vlog investigation into what’s going on.
This is when things get really gnarly, people begin to become delusional and start inflicting horrific injuries to themselves and others and it is spreading, fast.
This book is graphic, gory and violent and Ulitski does a great job of holding the mystery throughout, just when you think you know where it’s going, you don’t. I also really like the humour that comes through amongst all of the carnage.
This is the second book I’ve read by this author and it is clear he has a talent for writing visceral body horror and I love it.
We Met In The Forums is available on Godless today and will release on paperback on 30th April. If you enjoy body horror, pandemic horror or a good horror mystery I highly recommend you check it out!
Just stay out of the water!!
Solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s from Dark Reads.
