BE ADVISED: THIS BOOK IS FOR A MATURE AUDIENCE AND CONTAINS GRAPHIC SEX AND VIOLENCE.Tobias, who writes under the pen name T.K. Tantrum, has received a special gift from his assistant. He’s going to an author retreat where he will get the chance to sit and write at the desk of his fallen idol, Melvin Morose, a sick and demented horror writer who hanged himself in the very room in which Tobias … Tobias will be working. The Grand Georgina, the venue for the retreat, was once a stop on the Underground Railroad, but this hotel is much more than a haunted historical relic. It has become a sick and twisted playground for an evil, demonic company called Diablo Snuff. If you read book 1, you know how horrific Diablo Snuff is. Just wait ‘til you read this one.

An excellent scary story.
This author hit the ground running with this book and didn’t stop. Even at the end you’re thinking what the heck just happened. Anyone that read the first Diablo Snuff this Diablo Snuff two is on steroids. I can’t get over the flow of the characters and how I could picture everything thing this author had on the page.
I absolutely love Carver Pike books. He has a way of luring you in and keeping a hold on you as you fall into his horror-filled world. This is definitely one for your bookshelves. Carver Pike
A fantastic story that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end. In The Grindhouse, we follow writer T.K. Tantrum, aka Tobias, to a retreat held in an old estate turned hotel that is ground zero for some of the most horrific crimes. As soon as Tobias steps over the threshold he’s taken into a madhouse of sorts. Throughout the story, the reader is taken on a journey where you wonder what is real and what is his imagination. Could all of those things be real or are you sucked into the folk lore of the setting? It’s not until the explosive ending where you see where all the madness lies.
When I need a book to deliver the unexpected, Carver Pike is my now go to author. Grindhouse is part of his Diablo Snuff series and this one Holy Freaking Gremlins!! This one has turned out to be my favorite horror book ever. The creative detail in this book is phenomenal. It kept me on the edge of my seat, cursing, and screaming out just freaking run. My neighbors laughed at me because they scared the crap out of me while I was reading on my patio, you just get wrapped up in the story, and forget there is a world going on outside the book. I’m so invested in these characters now and craving for so much more even though I creep myself out half the time. With each book I read of Pike’s they get more shocking and unpredictable, never a dull moment. I will say I have an official Pike’s No No List. Experiences I wanted to do but not anymore due to his books. So thanks for that Carver! If you love horror I seriously recommend his books to any fan of the genre you will not be disappointed.
Erotic Horror. Is that a thing? After reading this book I am thoroughly convinced it is!
This gripping tale of horror has everything. Blood, guts, gore, torture, moments that make you want to vomit in your mouth a little bit, and also strangely erotic, very descriptive sex scenes! So this is DEFINITELY not intended for anyone under 18 or 21. Not sure what that age is anymore. Anywho!
The book starts out totally normal, just like most horror novels do. A guy goes to an author’s retreat in hopes of being inspired the same way his favorite author was inspired. He hopes for a weekend of fun, drunken debauchery, and massive writing sessions that will hopefully bring about a best seller. However, from the moment he arrives, he realizes that not everything is what it seems to be and he quickly discovers that there is something way more dark and sinister at work in the hotel.
It’s as if Tobias’ every fear is brought to life in this seemingly innocent hotel and he soon discovers that he’s not meant to leave. But in typical manly fashion, he’s not quite ready to throw in the towel just yet, no matter how inviting and easy it may seem. In a fight for his life, Tobias risks an escape with his newfound love and, just when they think they are safe, they realize that their adventure is just beginning.
This book was amazing in every way. I have yet to read a book by Mr. Carver that I haven’t absolutely loved. Yes, I get nightmares. Yes, I now look around every corner before running to the bathroom in the middle of the night. But that’s all part of the fun of horror! If you are into all things grisly and gruesome, you should definitely give this series a shot! I loved it!
Definitely 5 out of 5 stars!
