Worth Your Valuable Time

Anyone here a big fan of bleak, horrifying fiction that makes you feel like absolute crap by the time you're finished? Anyone...???

Well, should you change your minds (you pansies), please do give The Ruins a look-see. It's, as I said, bleak and horrifying, but in an I-can't-stop-reading-even-though-I-feel-like-vomiting sort of way. I don't want to be Capt. Spoiler, so all I'll say about the plot is this: Six college kids, while on vacation in Cancun, decide to tromp through the deep, dark jungle in search of some ancient and abandoned ruins. It gets ugly, quickly, and all due to a very unlikely source.

So, yeah... if you're in really good place, mentally, and things are all sunshine and peach cobbler for you these days, you should totally check this book out. Everyone hates your cheeriness and, believe me, there are worse ways to help you turn it down a notch.
