About this listen

FEATURING A BRAND NEW NOVELLA BY EDWARD LEE.

Splatterpunk is a movement within horror fiction originating in the 1980s, distinguished by its graphic, often gory, depiction of violence, countercultural alignment and "hyperintensive horror with no limits." The term was coined in 1986 by David J. Schow at the Twelfth World Fantasy Convention in Providence, Rhode Island. Splatterpunk is regarded as a revolt against the "traditional, meekly suggestive horror story". Splatterpunk has been defined as a "literary genre characterised by graphically described scenes of an extremely gory nature."

These stories are a little bit of madness, brought to you by some of the best horror authors working in the industry, today, that wanted to show off their love for splatterpunk.

This book is dedicated to the late, great, Richard Laymon.

I’m relatively new to splatterpunk, so I jumped at the opportunity to listen to this anthology with stories written by great authors.

Thanks to the narration by Todd Waites, I can say this was a great experience that not only entertained me, but taught me a lot about this subgenre. Some stories were more graphic than others, some had humour, but all had some message within and the gore and violence were not there just because.
I have to admit that I had to skip one of the stories “Pig” because of the description of the workings of a slaughterhouse and I just couldn’t.

I loved some stories more than others and I felt all the feelings. I felt sad and emotional, but I also felt satisfaction when the characters got what they deserved!
Every time Kevin J. Kennedy manages to give the readers such high quality collections!

If you, like me, want to explore splatterpunk more, I highly recommend this anthology, but I think those already familiar with this subgenre would love it too!

Thanks to the author for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.

A great collection of splatterpunk stories!
