Son of The Slob

Product Information

Not only will Harold’s story bring about extreme emotions, but the plight of the entire Harlow family will put you through the wringer. Not a single good thing happens to this family, and things only ever get worse. I’m not a religious man, but I’ve thought about praying for this fictional family. They never stood a chance against this merciless world. Beauregard has tapped into the psychology of his main characters and he writes it well, because he makes it believable. Right from the start of this story, something popped out at me – this is probably much closer to the truth than the Hollywood fluff would like you to believe.

Aron Beauregard has written an excellent sequel to The Slob. I highly recommend it to splatterpunk readers. In my review, I mentioned that it will be the story which sets the bar for extreme stories from then on. And you would rightly say, that nobody is forcing me to read about it. But I like to read splatterpunk stories. Unfortunately for me, sloppy poo stories are trendy nowadays. So I have to endure my discomfort. This time it was worth it.I travelled with Vera on her long, disturbing and horrific journey, and I felt every emotion along with her. It was heartbreaking, brutal and terrifying. I really felt for her.

Truly, a journey to savour, and smell and taste and feel...the pure disgusting, filthy baseness of it all. Personally, I was more interested in the commentary of war and the mental health critique. They actual marry beautifully (if anything can be called beautiful in that novel.) The psychiatrist was infuriating to say the least, his inability to actually see what Vera needs versus what he WANTS her to accomplish. More needs to be written like this. Not only Vera needing help, but Daniel as well and the inaction that leads to dire consequences. War, I’m excited about the possibly continuation of Morris’s story.

Vera is not sharing her bed with her husband Daniel anymore. In fact, they rarely even talk, even though they still live in the same house. He can’t get over the trauma of having lost his own unborn child because of the disgusting deeds The Slob did to his wife. And he can’t forgive Vera for keeping the son of The Slob. Harold is mentally retarded and mostly unable to understand or communicate with most other people. This makes him so vulnerable to so many bad things. Even though Vera loves him and wants to see the good in him, how far will this apple fall from the tree? Or, will it be the sins of the father type of story?

Vera’s son is the product of utter depravity. Harold, the sinister seed left by the man who took everything from her, continues to blossom in nauseating fashion. His features and habits are stomach-churning, vividly familiar, and becoming more disturbing by the day. Determined to coax out the bright side of her child that she sees an occasional glimpse of, Vera strives for normalcy. But will the faint light she’s chasing shine through the darkness or will she be left cleaning up another gruesome mess? A highly original, thrilling piece of splatterpunk theatre with it's cleverly constructed, fast flowing narrative that just oozed in brilliance whilst also containing a fine array of wonderfully nefarious supporting cast of creepy characters that just leaves you wanting more and more and more.LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON? Vera Harlow is a survivor. After a chance encounter led to her being held captive in a disgusting house of horrors, she fought tooth and nail to escape the clutches of a man known only as The Slob. But while she may have fled the disastrous situation, the details of her struggle are now carved into her flesh and soul. The character of Vera Harlow is one of survival. When an accidental meeting landed her in The Slob’s filthy abode of horrors, she battled tooth and nail to free herself from his grasp. She managed to get away from the terrible scenario, but the memories of her ordeal are permanently imprinted on her body and mind.

I’ve tried my best to be as spoiler free as I can, because I don’t want a single thing spoiled for someone reading it for the first time That was a mistake, though, because I became overly critical when I compared other stories to it – even stories by Beauregard himself. So, scratch that thought, just remember it sits at the top of my imaginary mantel for the genre. Vera’s son is the result of a life of vileness. The man who took everything from her hasn’t finished planting his evil seed, Harold. His appearance and behaviour are repulsive, all too familiar, and growing increasingly worrisome by the day. Vera is determined to normalise her child’s life so that she can bring out the good qualities she has seen in him or her on rare occasions. Will the glimmer of hope she seeks emerge, or will she be left to mop up another bloodbath? About The Author Aron BeauregardYou should know that my review will be influenced by my violent reaction to the description of fecal matters in books. I really, really don't like reading about it. I don't know why, but every time I read a story with feces descriptions, I visualize them and my brain imagines the smell. I often end up almost barfing. Muahaha!! Muahaha!! Muahaha!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😈 You’ll have to discover it, like I did. But just let me tell you, this Harold boy, is so disgusting you can’t even imagine it. My empathy for him died, even before it had a chance to live, when I watched him play by himself through his mother eyes. Then he disgusted me even more when I watched him play with rats, which are his favorite pets, (sort of😆) through Daniel’s eyes . Vera Harlow is a survivor. After a chance encounter led to her being held captive in a disgusting house of horrors, she fought tooth and nail to escape the clutches of a man known only as The Slob. But while she may have fled the disastrous situation, the details of her struggle are now carved into her flesh and soul. The story takes place eight years after the events of The Slob. Vera is the loving mother of Harold. He’s a seven year old child with a peculiar and unique body. He has issues which don't allow him to go to school. He needs special care, very special.
