Neverday by Carlton Mellick III
If I could give six stars to any book, it would be this one. This little book of bizarro blew my mind. When a group of people find each other and realize that they are one of the few that actually knows the day is repeating, they vow to get to the bottom of it. Then they find out about neverday. The day or days that exist between the repeating day. But no one can go there. It is forbidden. You must sleep, wake up, and repeat over and over. When they decide to stay awake and v

Bella's Boys by Thomas R. Clarke
Clarke’s ability to create Splatterfolk is unmatched. He mixes Native American folklore with cosmic horror and creates a story that you can’t put down. Bella is both woman and creature. She’s is sexy to the point of madness and looking to suck the soul right out of every man and woman alive. Clarke ties the very real blizzard of 1993 in New York with his setting for Bella's Boys. The claustrophobic feeling of the cold snow makes a local dive bar seem like an oasis. The w

Rural Decay by Jason Nickey
This is extreme horror. You will read some pretty nasty stuff. When the son has desires while dear old dad is doing disgusting things to captive people, you might ask nature or nurture. But it doesn’t matter. All that matters is you are taken on a ride that you wish you could close your eyes on but squint to keep them open because you can’t look away.

Psychic Teenage Bloodbath by Carl John Lee (David Sodergren)
As many know, Carl John Lee is David Sodergren's pen name for his extreme horror books. Sodergren is probably best known for his books "The Haar" and "Maggie's Grave". Much like Sodergren, I'm at a loss as to whether this book should be called extreme horror or splatterpunk. Most in the horror genre consider extreme horror to be boundary pushing with little inferred meaning and splatterpunk to have meaning behind its gore. It seems to be a little of both. I liken it to Stephe

Dead Inside by Chandler Morrison
I came across this book while watching one of my favorite horror YouTubers rip it to shreds. Literally, she was ripping the book, page by page, on camera. She said it was misogynistic and one of the worst books she has ever read. Â Welcome to splatterpunk. Some might say this is extreme horror; gore just there to push boundaries. But I do not. I found a lot of very interesting meaning in this book. A character who meets another character and for the first time, finds some

Things have Gotten Worse Since we Last Spoke by Eric Larocca
Some people loved this book. Some people hated this book. This is by far one of my favorites. The way Larocca takes a sapphic relationship and turns it parasitic is brilliant. From the strange 1950’s writing style to always wondering who is on the other end of the messages. I was left thinking about this book for days. It's 2000 and Agnes decides to sell her antique apple peeler on a queer community forum. If that isn't strange enough, the author's note starts with the u

Salvation of the Damned by Jay Bower
This story is reminiscent of Dante’s Inferno; the struggle of a lifetime against the demons of hell and an attempt at redemption. When a teenage boy is pulled into a portal to hell,  a wicked spirit possesses him and tries to take his body to escape hell. Every fight in hell is a boss fight and the descriptions are beautifully mastered. I always enjoy Jay Bower’s writing! This is definitely one to get.
