Disturbing and graphic. Very effective horror!

NOT for the faint of heart!
I am not usually a fan of extreme horror. But I do like The Sinister Horror Company. So when they released this short story with this delightful title I thought I should check it out. It certainly packs a punch! There are some very gruesome and, at times, disgusting moments in the story. The protagonist has very little (if any) positive qualities, so by the end of the story when the Chocolateman makes his final appearance we are left satisfied, and horrified. Above all else, the (literally) filthy scenes and the gruesome descriptions, this is a very effective and very creepy short story.
Now, if you don't mind, I need to go to the bathroom. I hope I make it back...
