Book Review: Diablo Snuff: A Foreign Evil
There’s also a video version of this review. Cool, huh?
I read this book quite a few years ago. Man, time flies. Back then, it had a different cover and was credited to a different author as well. From what I can tell, the core plot points remain the same. With that marginally relevant introduction out of the way, let’s dive into my review!
Diablo Snuff tells the story of Michael, who is in Panama City for a friend’s bachelor party. With his pals off shagging hookers back in their respective rooms, Michael is chomping on a burger when he bumps into the lovely and mysterious Isabelle. The two strangers hit it off immediately and before long, they’re looking for a place to shag themselves!
His hotel room is occupied, so Isabelle leads the way to a so-called “push button” style hotel that leases rooms by the hour — perfect for shagging on
the fly! After some fairly hot and rough sex, Michael realizes that everything isn’t quite what it seems. He comes to learn that just like the other poor saps who fell for the push button trap, he’s being filmed in a real life porno with a terrifying twist! Michael is suddenly in a fight to escape with his life and uncover the horrific truth behind the name branded on the porn videos streaming in every room — Diablo Snuff!
This was a very intriguing story, one that had me like “alright, just one more
page!”. Having said that, I’m not quite sure how the erotica and horror elements meshed here. I didn’t feel creeped out in anyway and the climatic blood orgy and how it all played out was just kinda lame — in my opinion, of course.
Overall, this was a solid effort that I would recommend you check out to form your own opinion. Looks like it’s the first in a series of Diablo Stuff titles, which I didn’t know at the time. Definitely piqued my interest enough to see what’s next.
Three out of five stars.
