THV is a fascinating if not brief journey into an abstract realm of distant morals and disjointed concepts. Presented in a writing style that turns tender moments and intimate encounters into wretched and grotesque acts of deviancy. Carlton Mellick III has no problems with presenting a near cartoonish world with unpleasing descriptions and things one would not consider in a typical day, let alone nightmare.
It is a story of love between a man and woman. It is a story of a skeleton clawing it's way right out of her from a place women fear babies to come out of. It is a story of one man being enticed to enter the unknown and discover a world where his own skeleton becomes his pet and the sentence " I am not camping in your vag*na. " somehow make sense. If you're crazy that is. Like me.
There are surprisingly rather tender and thought provoking moments within the pages of this story. Moments that can honestly be touching before the brutal reality sets in that you're reading this book still. The length of all the thematic elements leading up to the finale of understanding far outweigh the point in which readers may begin to truly appreciate the madness of the world.
The ending had came with such a sudden crack that it felt rather rushed and lost the essence and flavor, nay, the speed that was so frequent and established. One might call it a literary whiplash.
THV presents a fascinating premise you will not so easily find elsewhere. The pace and humor, serious and sometimes childish writing will take some of those who read it on a journey to which the mind just says " Let's have fun with it and not look so deep. " The ride had been justified. Had only wished it lasted a bit longer to snuff my brain.
