REVOLTING!

oneirophreniaOK. It is wellknown that Mister Pegritz likes the nasty gross movies about zombies eating each others' fingers and stuff...which, naturally, suggests that I have a fairly strong stomach for grue and most forms of nastiness, right? Of course right!
Well, not even I could truly stomach Chuck Palahniuk's new story in Playboy, "Guts."
I first heard about it on the Caitlin R. Kiernan message boards, where it was described as being "the most repulsive thing I've ever read" by one of the phorum regulars. Needless to say, my interest was peaked...and so I actually bought the current issue of Playboy to read it. I haven't bought a copy of Playboy in nearly a decade, and it's kind of amusing that I picked it up not to ogle the fake plastic boobs but to read a story that even the most strongwilled of horror freaks have been calling positively disgusting. Nonetheless, I figured, hell, I will step to the plate and prove my mettle!
My god. I nearly fucking puked.
Oh, it's a very well told tale--it's Chuck Palahniuk, after all--and it's quite original in its own perverse way, but...my gods. It truly is sick. It is loathesome. It is vile. It is positively emetic in its perversity.
It's about a kid who, while trying out some really bizarre underwater wanking ritual, gets a sizable portion of his rectum sucked out. And then has to bite through it in order to escape certain doom.
And guess what, folks? That's not even the nastiest part.
You know something is bad when even I wish I'd never read it. I want to dunk my brain in a vat of Clorox right now and bleach the memories away.
(a few minutes pass)

siliconedreamer, I think you and I should try to make a film of this.
