Friends, <em>Spread Me<\/em> is HORNY in the most uncomfortable way possible. I&#8217;m no prude by any means, but this book made me blush. New <del datetime=\"2026-06-08T03:32:43+00:00\">kink<\/del> fear unlocked?<\/p>\n<p>A team of researchers at a remote desert outpost come across a bizarre specimen buried in the sand, and with the threat of a dust storm they bring the specimen inside. The story from there quickly spirals out of control with some of the most original eco-horror that I&#8217;ve ever encountered. The book is not afraid to explore themes of sexual desire and the shame that often comes with it. I really loved the main cast of characters and how the book developed relationships only to destroy them.<\/p>\n<p>A serious slump buster for sure, the book moves at a breakneck pace with an ending that I found incredibly satisfying. What can I say, other than that I&#8217;ve never read a book quite like this, and I don&#8217;t think I will ever again. <\/p>\n<h2>Quote<\/h2>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We only know how to <em>fuck<\/em> things or <strong>kill<\/strong> things, or <strong>fuck<\/strong> things until we\u2019ve <em>kill<\/em>ed them, or <strong>kill<\/strong> things until it feels like <em>fucking<\/em> them.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>Content Warnings<\/h2>\n<span class=\"ubb-spoiler\"><a class=\"ubb-view-spoil\">View Spoiler &raquo;<\/a><span style=\"display: none;\" class=\"ubb-thespoil\">Body Horror, Death, Masturbation, Murder, Sex <a class=\"ubb-hide-spoil\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;\">&laquo; Hide Spoiler<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ubb-about-author\">\n<h3>About Sarah Gailey<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pastelgoth.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/author_sarahgailey.png?fit=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft ubb-about-author-photo\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pastelgoth.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/author_sarahgailey.png?w=200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pastelgoth.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/author_sarahgailey.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pastelgoth.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/author_sarahgailey.png?resize=75%2C75&amp;ssl=1 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sarah Gailey is an American author.
