But making it to their reservation is proving to be a challenge. A few men on the street near their destination verbally assault them. And the situation quickly escalates into a nightmare. Once within the safety of the restaurant the two women discover it\u2019s not just the men outside who\u2019ve lost their minds, men everywhere have gone insane. And they believe they\u2019ve found the origin of the mayhem. A radio in the kitchen is playing a hate filled message against women and it\u2019s being delivered by the President. There\u2019s only one way to stop the men from attacking women and logic tells them they need to terminate the chaos at its source.<\/p>\n<strong>Get the Book:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Y40z07\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a>\r\n<hr \/><\/div>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Review\",\n\t\t\t\t\"datePublished\": \"2023-04-22T06:00:42+00:00\",\n\t\t\t\t\"description\": \"Cockblock\",\n\t\t\t\t\"publisher\": {\n\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Organization\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"name\": \"Radical Dreamer\"\t\t\t\t},\n\t\t\t\t\"url\": \"https:\\\/\\\/pastelgoth.net\\\/blog\\\/book-cockblock\\\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"itemReviewed\": {\n\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Book\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"name\": \"Cockblock\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\"author\": [\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"@type\": \"Person\",\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"name\": \"C.V.

It is a wild piece of transgressive horror literature and I happily slurped it up in one sitting. The story follows a pair of lesbians that find themselves trapped in a feminist nightmare of cat-calling zombie rapists that hurtles humanity into an apocalyptic hell world. The book is fast, angry, and full of copious amounts of violence, sex, gore, and a surprising amount of humor. Reading it feels like a swift kick in the crotch and it is engaging from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p>There were only a few things that fell a little flat for me. The cat-calling was at first creepy, then funny, and later just a little too repetitive. There were also the scary supernatural implications of what the radio message and the assaults meant for women in the first half that kind of just fell off in the latter half of the story. I still enjoyed the book and plan to read more of Hunt&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cockblock<\/strong> is an over-the-top campy gore fest that will please the right reader. The book is graphic and not for the faint of heart, make sure you check the trigger warnings.<\/p>\n<h2>Quote<\/h2>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We were just <em>things<\/em> they saw to <strong>use<\/strong> however they <em>wanted<\/em> and when they were done with us <strong>we would be snuffed<\/strong> out like a flame.&#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\">Gore, Homophobia, Misogyny, Rape, Sex, Sexism, Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment, Violence <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 C.V.
