This is, by far, my favorite review of D.O.A. II:
With all due respect
to those of you who loved this book, and these types of stories, I have to be
honest: this book was appalling to me. I love horror, am mad about a great
ghost story, can't get enough of monsters, and things that go bump in the
night. DOA II is not that type of collection. It's brutal rapes, and horribly
bloody, gruesome sex. It's demented characters who commit disgusting and
revolting crimes. The first story in the book is a horrid peek into snuff
films, and it just gets worse from there. I'm no prude, but I certainly wish I
had been informed about the vulgar and gory content in this selection. I would
not have purchased it. I read a few more stories, and that was all I could
handle. This book is full of extreme and explicit sex and/or violence, leaving
absolutely nothing to the imagination. I paid six bucks for this, but I didn't
blink an eye when I removed it from my Kindle. It was a relief. I think Amazon
needs to warn us about books that contain this type of content, as it is not
for everybody.
While Melanie does not specifically mention my own
contribution to the book, ”Under the Pretext of Propensity,” I desperately want
to assume that I played some part in her response. Few things can make one feel as giddy as that
possibility. If I didn’t already have a copy, I’d buy it just because of her
opinion. Thank you, dear lady, from the bottom of my black, cold and rotting
heart.
You’re a dear.
