Review
Damn, this was good! Plastic Monsters took me entirely by surprise. What started as browsing my Kindle to squeeze in one last read for the month turned into a wild, twisted, and gruesome book that I could not put down.
This novella follows a woman named Pam who wants to be beautiful and flawless. She will do anything to achieve that level of beauty. And I mean anything. Volpe was a master at shining a light on the real-life issue of body image and unrealistic expectations using horror.
All of the characters were terrible people, yet it still worked for me in this context.
It reminded me of a YA book I read in high school called Sara’s Face. It was also a plastic surgery horror, and I still think about that book all of the time. I have no doubt that this one will fall into the same category.
𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴: Plastic Monsters is an extreme splatterpunk horror novel, so it contains brutality, gore, and hard topics. If you haven’t read from this genre before, I advise caution and research before picking this up.
