Torture Porn. An ugly term for a pretty ugly sub-genre. I’m not a huge fan, generally - probably because, for the most part, there’s almost zero emotional attachment to the characters involved.

This was the train wreck I couldn't tear my eyes away from. One of the most well written extreme horror novels I have ever read and I am likely to read it again.
