#Splatterpunk #Review – Made A Monster by Rob Nelson

Leave a comment

Adrian and Kendra are a match made in Hell.

Adrian’s dark past left him with a twisted imagination that takes him deep into the forest where he does unspeakable things.

Kendra is new to town. She has a dark secret of her own and an unhealthy obsession with a boy she hasn’t even met yet.

Until Adrian met Kendra, he had his deviant urges under control. When she comes to him for help, his capacity for violence goes beyond anything either of them could have imagined.

I’m part of a horror book group on Facebook and came across a review for this book. The way the reader wrote her review, I knew I had to bump this book to the top of my list.

If you’ve been following my horror read journey, you know that Broken Dolls: Deliverance by Mique Watson is my favourite horror book. Well this one, jumped right to the top alongside that one. Nothing can top Broken Dolls for me but this book is a close second. A very close second I must say.

So we meet Adrian and I honestly have no idea what to even say about him, Kendra or this book but I’ll try.

This story may be gruesome, filled blood, gore and everything else you can imagine or not imagine but it’s so much more than that. There’s emotion, survival, two broken souls who would do anything to get by but at the same time, are stuck.

Both Adrian and Kendra come from horrible backgrounds – This is trauma bonding to the extreme – both of their parents suck and that’s putting it lightly. They’re intrigued by each other but like most people who come from a horrible background, Adrian doesn’t know how to trust. I actually thought he came around but boy was I wrong.

You ever read a book and you’re just slobbing it on the couch or bed or wherever and then something happens in said book that makes you sit up straight, hand covering your heart or mouth, eyes wide, stomach clenching and you just can’t believe what you’re reading? Yeah, that happened to me quite a few times in this book.

So I don’t know how to review this but I’ll just say that Adrian and Kendra make Chucky and Tiffany look like angels.

Oh and please read the trigger warnings. I don’t have any triggers but the content of this book made even me uncomfortable at times.

100% recommend reading this if you’re into horror, splatterpunk and a emotionally charged story.

#Review – Scraps: A Splatterpunk Anthology

Leave a comment

Featuring new stories by Judith Sonnet, Mique Watson, Stephanie E. Jensen, Ruth Anna Evans, Cassandra Daucus, Harrison Phillips, Chaz WIlliams, and MORE . . . SCRAPS is an obscene, absurd, and disturbing anthology of splatterpunk and extreme horror. Curated by Judith Sonnet, each story is designed to shock, sicken, and surprise! If you like your horror raw and unflinching, then this anthology is for you!

WARNING: This is extreme horror and splatterpunk. Don’t like being grossed out? Don’t read it!

Oral Fixations by Judith Sonnet: I’ve read a few of Judith’s books and she never disappoints in the extreme and depraved department. We meet a couple teens who are heading to a party but the night doesn’t go as planned. They wake up in an unknown location and try and figure out every possible way they can to survive. This one actually hurt my heart a bit. So good job, Judith!

I also love Judith’s introductions, narrations? to each story. It’s like a story within a story.

The Book of Revenge by Cassandra Draucus: Cassandra Draucus is a new author for me but one I definitely want to read more of. This little story was so well written and was a bloody mess of fun! I felt like I was actually there. I could picture things clearly and really enjoyed that. While I have seen horror movies based in the 13th century, I’ve never read a horror book that had it in it until now.

Filth by RE Shambrook: This was the grossest little story I’ve ever read and I am absolutely here for it. When I finished, I was like “WTF WAS THAT?!” I couldn’t stop reading. But man oh man. I feel like the author thought to himself, “Hmm…what’s the grossest bodily function and I’m going to write a book about it?” This is definitely not for those with weak stomachs.

Sober by Chaz Williams: Richard and Susan are helping a certain person who hurt their daughter, detox. If that’s what you can even call it. When they complete their mission, they show her what it’s like to live with the pain of losing someone while sober. Disturbing, extreme and on point with the theme of this anthology!

Rita by Ruth Anna Evans: I love books like this where you think it’s going one way and then it goes another, throwing you off. Clearly I am not on my game, because I should have predicted this ending.

FF by Brian G Berry: Um…wow. I have no words for this one.

Wet Hair by Jayson Dawn: Wow…can’t say I’ve ever read a story like this one. I hate pulling hair from the drain and get my husband to do it. Now I’m going to be thinking of this story every time he does.

Bonemeal by Harrison Phillips: Well I wasn’t expecting that in the least but did I love it? Yes. Yes I did.

Amateur Surgery by Mique Watson: First, I have to say that this my favourite horror author, so I was super excited to read his story! Mique never disappoints and this one was a doozy. All I gotta say is poor Teddy.

Putrefying Malediction by Stephanie E Jensen: This one was awesome and gross. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!

Fetal Back Wash by Judith Sonnet: Well this was something that I did not expect to like but really did! Not sure what that says about me. And again, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! Flo really got her revenge with this one.
