I stumbled upon 'Squeak' during a late-night browsing session when I was craving something surreal and experimental. At first, the fragmented narrative threw me off—characters dissolve into whispers, scenes loop like broken records, and the prose itself feels like it’s melting. But that’s the point! It’s less a traditional novel and more a sensory experience, like watching a David Lynch film translated into text. The protagonist’s descent into a glitching reality mirrors how modern life sometimes feels, especially if you’ve ever doomscrolled until 3 AM.
What stuck with me was the way mundane objects—a rotary phone, a half-eaten sandwich—become ominous symbols. It’s not for everyone; if you prefer tight plots, this’ll frustrate you. But as someone who adores 'House of Leaves' or 'Kafka on the Shore,' 'Squeak' scratched an itch I didn’t know I had. The ending left me staring at my ceiling, questioning if my own room was flickering.
A friend lent me 'Squeak' with a warning: 'It’s either genius or pretentious garbage.' After finishing it, I’m still not sure which camp I’m in. The writing is deliberately disjointed, with sentences that cut off mid-thought and chapters that rearrange themselves if you blink too hard. I found myself rereading paragraphs, not because they were dense, but because they evaporated—like trying to hold smoke.
Yet, there’s beauty in the chaos. The way it explores memory loss through typography (words literally fade as the protagonist forgets) is brilliant. It’s the kind of book you’ll either hate or obsess over, with no middle ground. I dog-eared pages to revisit certain passages, though I’m not convinced the author intended any of them to be 'understood.' If you’re up for a challenge, go in with zero expectations and a high tolerance for ambiguity.
I devoured 'Squeak' in one sitting, but it left me with a hangover. The book feels like a puzzle where half the pieces are missing, and the other half belong to a different box entirely. Its strength lies in atmosphere—every page drips with unease, like a nightmare you can’t wake up from. The protagonist’s voice is hauntingly relatable, especially when describing how their world unravels in tiny, mundane ways (a favorite coffee mug suddenly has three handles; their reflection winks).
Critics call it 'postmodern,' but I think it’s more like a literary haunted house. You don’t 'solve' it; you survive it. Would I recommend it? Only if you’re okay with books that don’t offer answers. It’s the kind of story that lingers, like a static buzz in your ears long after you’ve closed the cover.

Twenty-six, brilliant, and achingly untouched, PhD student Cassie walks into the city’s most exclusive sex club because of a bet against her virginity. She chooses him blindly: a cruel Dom who drags her to the hidden chambers, spreads her trembling thighs, and takes her virginity with slow, savage thrusts while she screams. She never sees his face.
She buries the memory under ambition, until her mother’s death forces her back to her home.
Her brother offers her an internship with his best friend, Reginald Walker; an introverted, lethal and impossibly controlled CEO. The man whose mere presence makes her wet and reckless. Cassie pushes until Reggie snaps, chains her on the wooden crucifix, spreads her legs and fucks her till she's speaking in tongues.
Despite the fact that Reggie cannot do emotions, their secret affair turns raw and desperate: His hand is always fisted in her hair, his neck filled with hickeys that his shirt cannot hide. Their love and lust is so violent it terrifies them both.
Then the devil returns. Dominic is the one who broke Cassie's virginity and he recognises her one night at a party. He does everything to get a taste of her again, including blackmail.
When Reggie refuses to believe that the pictures he received are from the past, he walks out but they get back. Before they can fully reconcile, Reggie's ex comes with full force. Cassie runs to her brother with a broken heart. Reggie drowns in whiskey and self-loathing. On his knees in the rain,he begs for her forgiveness and love.
She gives it, but nothing is the same again. They start over slowly, trying to rebuild what Dominic nearly destroyed.
One careful kiss, one trembling “I love you,” one fragile heartbeat at a time.

A security guard caught a snake in our apartment complex and delivered it straight to my door.
I was just about to scream when floating comments cut in.
[The male lead got dumped and turned back into his real form just to spy on his girlfriend, and he actually got caught? This is funny as hell!]
[He got dumped, and his girlfriend hates him. He's probably gonna cry himself to sleep!]
[Aww, poor little snake can't curl up on his girlfriend tonight.]
The big black snake looked pitiful in the guard's hands.
It secretly sized me up with its slit pupils.
I tried holding out my hand, and the black snake stared in disbelief.
Two seconds later, it obediently rubbed its head against my fingers.

This is not for good girls.
Good girls don't read this. Good girls don't wonder what it would feel like to get caught, pinned, owned. Good girls don't lie awake thinking about the man they're not supposed to want — the stepfather who looks at them like a problem he's decided to solve, the stepbrother who knows exactly what he's doing, the boss who makes the air thin every time he walks into the room.
If you're a good girl, close this now.
Still here?
Good.
Make Me Scream, Daddy is a collection of filthy, unhinged, no-apology erotica for the woman who wants it wrong, wants it rough, and wants it with a man who has absolutely no business giving it to her. These are short stories, not slow burns. There is no waiting. There is no fade to black. There is only the moment things tip over the edge — and then everything that comes after.
Stepdads who stop pretending. Stepbrothers who don't. Dangerous men who decided you were theirs before you even knew their name. Bosses who ruin the professional relationship on purpose. Stalkers who make you feel seen in ways that should terrify you and don't.
These men are not good for you. That's the point.
100 chapters. Zero remorse. Read alone. Or with your little Rose.
