Hole Punch by Garth Simmons (Review)

The Mommies Reviews

I would like to share a new book with you called Hole Punch by Garth Simmons that I received a copy of from Voracious Readers and the Author in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links if you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the items you purchase.

Hole Punch is a dark book which I found disturbing at times when the Author would give us a glimpse inside Simmons’ head. At times you might think Hole Punch is a short story but then the story weaves together becoming a whole book. There is people puking in the book so be prepared to be grossed out at times. If you were to ask me to what type of book Hole Punch is I would have to say its a mix between Science Fiction and Horror with a tad bit of poetry. Yes, you heard me horror and gore my two least favorite things in the world but I did read the book and I am here to tell you about it.

Hole Punch is:

The height of the Earth Empire – where War Bricks flatten alien civilisations.
Yorkshire 1985 – where a child’s mind is patched together with trauma.
Ancient Greece – where Socrates discovers a carnal method of time-travel.
Mars 2348 – where crime and terror haunt the Martian Habitation Domes.
The Mistake’s skull – where Muscle Society achieves self-destruction.
Delaware Dost – where mindfulness prevails and hierarchy is understood.
The End of Everything – where convert concepts welcome refugees into the folds of theory.

All these places (and many more!) reside within the tangled text of Hole Punch.
