Inside the Outside edition by Martin Lastrapes Literature Fiction eBooks
I don't quite know what to say about this book. I went in to it thinking it had a lot of potential. The premise is dark and mindset of the cult mentality has always intrigued me. If you like horror stories and you see a book filled with cults, cannibalism, organized crime and pornography you think you've found a classic. Instead, I found some of the sections of the book to be too graphic and seemed to be more about shock value than creating a feeling of horror or suspense. I also thought the book ended to abruptly. The final section just seemed to come together to conveniently.So I gave the book 3 stars because, although I didn't dislike it, I also thought it needed some work to turn it in to a true horror story.

Inside the Outside edition by Martin Lastrapes Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This book was an utter surprise. Well written and well told I found I wanted to stop reading, to look away, but I couldn't, no matter how uncomfortable it made me as scenes of human dissection were described.
Timber Marlow grew up in a cult society of cannibals. It was her norm. How she got away and changed her life is a both thrilling and disturbing. The act of eating human flesh is one of the most basic of all human taboos.
The story had a few flaws, areas where plot could have been a bit tighter but over all, it was a good horror story and a good effort from an author who I would read more from.
An interesting read. The description mentions cannibalism but it is not done in a gruesome, salacious way. The story unfolds in an organic way as a day to day play by play of life in an isolated cult. The events and situations just happen as a matter of course and to the cult members it's just normal life. No sensationalism. Things pick up in the middle of the book and play out to a logical conclusion, although the identity of the narrator is a bit of a surprise when revealed. Not your blood and guts horror, but an interesting story
I think I could use a stop watch to time how little time it took me to read this entire book. It NEVER got boring, was always interesting and with a lot of emotion, good and bad. It took feeding the people to a new genre, a new level of "you got to be kidding" but since most of the people in this "cult" were born, served and died ( or were sacrificed ) and depending if you were male or female you were put in a role of different chores as they called it, you were put in a category or some sort or another.
All I can say is I would recommend this book to everyone who was looking for a book that had me wondering if this could truly happen today or has it happened prior. Doesn't matter cause it was very, very good.
This is a story about what goes on in an unimaginable cult. Like nothing I've read before. Then what happens when the cult is done for and normal life (somewhat) takes over. This story gave you a choice to get to know the main character, and those around her, allowing a fair judgement. What is normal for one society is held up to ridicule by others. If you can keep an open mind and enjoy a peek over the fence where the neighbors are weird, you might enjoy this. This isn't a gory monster rag. It's got chops (Pun intended).
I grabbed this a while back while the edition was free, and then managed to forget what it was about in the intervening months. I forgot about the reviews I'd read. I forgot the warnings about the graphic scenes and subject matter. Until I came back here after reading it to write my review.
The first part of the book, the fascinating tale of life "inside", was really engaging. I found myself wondering what kind of person's imagination would have this kind of detail. Are there people who really live like this? Even the stories I've heard of cults were not quite to this level, and yet it was all so plausible, even the really off-the-wall parts.
This is the part of the book that really has the disturbing stuff in it, but really I found only one scene to be really excessive and even maybe extraneous in its depiction. If you have a hard time reminding yourself that it's fiction, you might have a harder time dealing with this half of the book.
The half of the book dealing with the "outside" was a little less interesting, with a not-super-exciting plotline and slightly lackluster ending (as the end neared, I imagined what I thought would make a satisfying ending, and the actual ending was a little less satisfying and a little less plausible than what I came up with). But, it was not bad; it explained most of the events in the first half, and after spending half the book becoming invested in the characters, you do want to find out what happens to them!
Overall a good read, not for the squeamish, and worth paying for if you didn't get it while it was free.
