Son of The Slob

Product Information

Throughout the story, this messy house with all the trash and dirt, will create an atmosphere so heavy it will become like another character to most readers. The picture you create in your mind will probably disgust you way before you get to the really disgusting stuff that happens as the story progresses. Once again, the amazing illustrations helped to instill that special Aron Beauregard horror into your psyche, and I think this has to be one of his best books yet! I would love to follow Harold more and see what he gets up to as he enters into adulthood. The Slob by Aron Beauregard brings forth an unpleasant reality of intimate violation and torment. The reader should be aware physical violence and horrendous acts of defilement is a common thread throughout this splatterpunk novella. 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. I had to think about this for a couple of days before I wrote anything. Aron, I would appreciate this review not being posted to Facebook.

I had the absolute honour and pleasure of an ARC of Son Of The Slob, and what an awesome treat it was! Thank you so much Aron. 😁 This book will hurt you. This book will tap into your deepest fear and all the things you dread. You will open yourself up to it and it will take that opportunity to break your heart and leave you without second thought. You’ll love this book, and miss it when it’s over. Aron Beauregard has written an excellent sequel to The Slob. I highly recommend it to splatterpunk readers.Yes, ultra extreme in terms of the level of violence and sexual activity, but those aspects of the read just felt like much needed natural and essential elements which were required to enhance the pleasure and enjoyment of reading about such a grisly, gruesome and utterly grotesque despicable humanistic encounter. I didn’t think I could read anything more disgusting or disturbing than The Slob, but Aron Beauregard has outdone himself with Son of the Slob. 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 Beauregard Truly, a journey to savour, and smell and taste and feel...the pure disgusting, filthy baseness of it all. 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.

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. The narrative, as always, flowed brilliantly and descriptively and kept me hooked from word one! If I didn't have to sleep, I would've read it in one sitting, but alas, it took me two! (No housework got done, which is pretty apt for this story! 😉) The answer, I am sad to say, is NO! If I don’t make a shopping list, I never remember shit or, in this case, things related to shit. Also, it will not be possible to separate it from the original story, so I am not allowed to tell you “It is not as good as…” – nothing is and I doubt ever will be, because I didn’t expect such a powerful story, which was part of the magic.

Oh boy, I kind of loved this repugnant read. It's been a while since I've rooted so hard for a herione to make it as with these kind of reads you need to expect the unexpected and even for that to be twisted in two. I didn't think it would be possible, but Aron Beauregard's Son of the Slob is more SPLATTERPUNK than The Slob.😜 This was at times, hard to stomach but was made hilariously funny by my ‘reading buddy’ MadameD, whose reactions to Harold, etc, made me LOL 🤣

WARNING: If you have not read THE SLOB, this review will reveal a lot about how that story ended. Please read it first, to allow yourself the full macabre journey it takes you on, before you read any further. By the end of last year or the beginning of this one, I discovered Aron Beauregard. His stories were very extreme, but really good, and I knew there was something special about his writing. Then I read THE SLOB, and it blew my fragile and sensitive, ever-loving mind to pieces.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? Beauregard provides all the innards of a daring venture that pushes boundaries...a mentally deranged protagonist, a derailment of sanity and so many vile moments you could fill a large garbage bag with them. Equipped with a nauseating flavor of rotted darkness, this morbid precious morsel will leave a long lasting taste of immoral decadence on the readers tastebuds. This story is heartbreaking as we are forced into this world, that sadly, besides Harold’s character, is all too real. Depression, overwhelmed parents, an extremely unhealthy home environment for Harold, as well as Daniel and Vera, makes this harder to read.
