Cleanliness meets extreme horror

Set in 1988, the novel centers on Vera, whose upbringing in a deeply unclean home shaped an intense fixation on cleanliness. Expecting a child with her disabled husband, Daniel, she turns to door-to-door vacuum sales in search of money. A visit to one house brings her face-to-face with horrors tied to memories she has tried to suppress. The premise connects domestic work and the desire for order with a graphic horror story about confronting the past. The publisher warns that the book contains graphic content; it also notes that the edition includes 24 interior illustrations.

Book overview

SOME STAINS DON'T COME OUT...

Raised in a household so filthy it was stomach-spilling, Vera involuntarily evolved into a neat freak. Upon discovering she and her disabled husband Daniel are expecting, she needs fast cash. Her obsession with cleanliness sprouts the concept that her skills can be put to use in a unique way. She takes a stab at the booming door-to-door vacuum sales business of 1988.

All is going well until she arrives at the steps of a house that will change her forever. The steps of an evil that resurrects the ghastly memories she so desperately tried to wash away. Nothing will prepare you for the nastiness, disorder, and sickening horror brought forth by... The Slob.

Extreme horror authors - Listen Up! The bar has been set. For any of you who feels the violence and depravity is the most important part of the story, you need to read this book to learn about character development - because when the reader cares for the protagonist, they can FEEL the bad things happening.
