I loved the store and wanted to buy something. The quote on the cover, &#8220;Snuff is by far the single most disturbing piece of literature I have ever read,&#8221; plus figuring out what the general story would be from the title (which if you don&#8217;t know, has nothing to do with tobacco), made this a must-read.<\/p>\n<p>And it is one of the most graphic and bizarre stories I&#8217;ve read. The main character makes snuff films with his friend; he gets paid big money to stage elaborate scenes that end very gruesomely. On p. 8:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;She half grunted as he lifted her up, fingering the metal blade and pulling the makeshift blindfold up from her left eye. The razor edge of it was half-way behind her eye before she screamed and the blade hit the optic nerve. One down. By the time her second eye was out, Jack&#8217;s hard-on was back.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That teaser is not, by far, the worst things in this book; this is some truly nasty stuff. There is a cool plot twist part way through, but I warn you, I bet you&#8217;ll see the very end coming just like I did (at least 20 pages from the end). But, it is a disturbing and fun read; leave it out on a table, convince your neighbors you&#8217;re a serial killer. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"translate_block\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<hr class=\"translate_hr\" \/>\n<a class=\"translate_translate\" id=\"translate_button_post-3787\" lang=\"en\" xml:lang=\"en\" href=\"javascript:show_translate_popup('en', 'post', 3787);\"><span>Translate<\/span><\/a><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alephnaught.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/google-ajax-translation\/transparent.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" id=\"translate_loading_post-3787\" class=\"translate_loading colorbox-3787\" style=\"display: none;\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Snuff Author: Adam Huber (Author), Eric Enck (Author) Paperback: 184 pages Publisher: Snuff Books (April 6, 2009) Language: English ISBN-10: 0981896723 ISBN-13: 978-0981896724 I bought this book at a local horror bookstore, Dark Delicacies.
