First, I have to start off by stating that I got this book free of charge in exchange for a review, but as I always state, this does not in any way impact my review. My reviews are always honest and my own.
I have been reading a lot of books from Grindhouse Press recently, so when the time came I decided to pick up A.S. Coomer’s second novel, THE FETISHISTS, and give it a try. This is the first novel I’ve read from a totally unfamiliar writer in several years, and I was hoping for something fresh, new and interesting — I got that. I honestly enjoyed the book very much — though at times it has the feel of a shorter piece that’s been stretched to novel length, that didn’t get in the way of the story. A.S. Coomer does a great job of getting the reader to care about the fate of the main character who in the first half of the book is less than sympathetic. If extreme horror, fetishes, control, and a bit of gore with a dash of mutilation interest you, then I highly recommend this book.
