Weed Species
by
Jack Ketchum

Extreme, Disturbing, Horror, Crime
Richard Alex Jenkins
This novella is the worst thing I've read by Jack Ketchum so far.
It's on a par with Hogg br Samuel R. Delany for gruesome details about child sex, rape and torture, so don't even go there if this triggers you.
There's hardly any plot, has poor continuity and is badly written.
Nobody is likeable and this turd of a book should have been left on the scrapheap, which is probably why it's included as an extra after other Jack Ketchum novels instead of being published in its own right.
For completionists/collectors, it works as a quick buzz of sordidness and that's all.
Dump it, even the title makes little sense other than weeds are invasive and undesirable.
