Summary
Some stains don't come out....
Raised in a household so filthy it was stomach-spilling, Vera involuntarily evolved into a neat freak. Upon discovering she and her disabled husband, Daniel, are expecting, she needs fast cash.
Her obsession with cleanliness sprouts the concept that her skills can be put to use in a unique way. She takes a stab at the booming door-to-door vacuum sales business of 1988.
All is going well until she arrives at the steps of a house that will change her forever. The steps of an evil that resurrects the ghastly memories she so desperately tried to wash away.
Nothing will prepare you for the nastiness, disorder, and sickening horror brought forth by...the Slob. The Slob has received critical praise and as a result has been nominated for the 2021 Splatterpunk Awards!

Great audiobook makes badly written book bearable
I initially started reading The Slob in paperback but found the writing style to be somehow both very basic and pretentious, like a teenager trying to come across as smart. I showed a non-graphic passage to a well-read friend with an education in literature, and they just said "I couldn't read this". I persevered for a few chapters but wasn't enjoying it.
The audiobook on the other hand hits completely differently. The narrator Lila Kerry puts on an absolute clinic, breathing life into the horrible source material by committing entirely, and turning it into something actually enjoyable (at least, for fans of extreme horror and splatterpunk). She also reads the sequel 'Son of The Slob', and Aron Beauregard's other popular/viral novel Playground, and they are all very listenable due to the quality of the voice performance.

Disgusting but a lot of fun
There are some moments that are hard to stomach in this book but it’s a wild ride and well worth your time

Great disgusting story, too short though
The narration was brilliant, the story itself is not fit the faint hearted. Very gory with detailed descriptions of murder and assault, just what I was looking for.
At 3h and 45 mins I felt it was far too short, there were bits of the story that could have been expanded on (the slobs upbringing, the back story of the gay guys etc) but overall, a good, quick listen.

It’s disgusting
It was very good and disgustingly descriptive. Made me feel sick but I wanted to keep listening. The author has a very good imagination.

It was good
I had to check this out after reading the playground by the same author but this felt a bit lacking compared, still liked this and will give it a second try.

Pretty good overall but the ending was really dumb
It was very descriptive even if it made me slightly queezy, overall it was good if your into gore, the ending was so fucking dumb though

Unrelenting
With every chapter the depravity increases and when your mind clings to a hope that there is not more to come we are plunged into another wonderfull cascade of nightmare fuel.
Brilliant!

Don’t read of easily upset/offended
But if you’re like me and anything goes with literature/movies/art then it’s a really good listen.

just horrific but well written
I thought I had a strong stomach...... well I've been tested! this audio book is well spoken and stomach churning....... I've now got a few of Aron's audio books and this one doesn't disapoint.......... I can't look at my carpet cleaner without feeling a little unwell!
