The Grinding by Matt Dinniman review

by Matt Dinniman

Genre: Horror

Six months ago, the world watched in horror as we lost an American city.

The Grinder. That’s what the survivors of Tucson called the monster. Just one touch, and they became a part of it. It used their bodies as limbs and as weapons. In just a matter of hours, it became huge, a towering monstrosity made entirely out of tens of thousands of people and animals.

This isn’t behind-the-scenes bulls**t from the point of view of the military. This isn’t yet another conspiracy theory about what really happened to Air Force One that night, or about the decision to nuke Tucson.

This is a rare, eyewitness account from someone who was there, in the midst of the destruction. But most importantly, this is the terrifying truth.

My Review:

I am an avid horror fan. This book was a great read. There are a few horror scenes that have stuck with me. This book had one of them. It is at the top of my list with the Psycho shower scene, the "splitting" scene in Ghost Ship, and of course the ghost scenes from 13 Ghosts. This is a gorey book, and is definitely not for the faint of heart. I liked he ending and I also liked the idea of Adam only caring about saving his wife. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
