Rape Van: An Extreme Horror Story Paperback – 17 May 2017

I just happened to be on Twitter and this book popped up on my feed, so as a general horror fan from a very young age (cujo aged 8!) I went over to Amazon and purchased the kindle version.It is my first dive into extreme horror as a genre of books.... I watch nasty films, nasty tv - I managed 12 minutes of Human Centipede and 8 minutes of a serbian film (I'm not even giving that capitals) and that was enough for me and never again.This story starts so positively then hits you like a hammer in the skull. Truly gag worthy in places but still I couldn't put it down.If you are easily offended or squeamish PLEASE don't, but why would you with a title such as this?! Just prepare yourself as reading these things is so much much more than watching.....I finished it in just over an hour and I want a sequel!

These short books that are full of gore really are crap.

Excellent storyline with some fab twists and turns to the plot...macabre and monstrous in its gore and gratuitous violence...twisted and down right sick in places - classic Tom Miller - loved it!!

Could not put this down it was fantastic and well worth reading.i would highly reccomend this book and this author

Excellent gore and horror, personally would like just a little more sex content, but read in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed.

I am surprised this author can get published - basically a thin storyline in crude and obscene language.

Hmm, I debated briefly whether to post on this book or not, but I kind of thought.... well, I've read it so why wouldn't I? I suppose my concern was - does reading a book with a horrible title and some extreme graphic content, by definition make me a horrible person? Did the explicit content in the form of sexual violence and graphic torture excite, titillate or arouse me. No, it didn't. Did it disgust me? Not especially.There is a part of me that thinks some of the content was unnecessary and could have been left to the reader's (or listener's) imagination, but the author should be free to write what he wants and if this is what Tim Miller wants to write and there is a fanbase for it, crack on then. No one has to read it if they don't want to.I found the story or plot interesting. A couple of serial killers travel around taking advantage of people and doing horrible things to them, before crossing paths with some bigger and badder predators. I'm not usually a fan of serial killer books as they don't especially interest me. I'd rather read about a robbery or a con than a murder spree.The writing was smooth enough. The plot moved fast. The characters were divided into predators and prey, no half measures. I was entertained, but not especially thrilled. I was invested enough in the outcome to want to finish the book and the author delivered a few twists and turns along the way. I don't regret reading it, but I'm not in a hurry to delve deeper into the author's back catalogue. It probably ought to come with some kind of warning attached to it and maybe some sort of age limitation on who could read it.3 from 5Read - (listened to) July, 2021Published - 2016Page count - 227 (2 hrs 37 mins)Source - Audible purchaseFormat - Audible

The storyline is questionable and the characters are unfeesable, but there's plenty of over the top gore plus the odd funny one liner to make up for it. The van itself plays second fiddle to everything else, and ends up parked outside with a puncture for much of the time. Not really the story I was expecting.
