5.0 out of 5 stars
a bit extreme, but entertaining,
This review is from: Splatterpunks: Extreme Horror (Paperback)
I recently bought this book and devoured it in two days. I found it extremely entertaining and thought provoking. Some people have called splatterpunk unnecessarily disgusting, shocking just for the sake of being shocking, but I don't agree. Once you get past all the gore, the only shocking thing about most of these stories is the messages they are trying to convey. Incest, rape, murder - those things are shocking, and they happen every day. It seems to me that the authors in this book are simply trying to get readers to look at the horror that goes on every day and think about it, rather than just change the channel to something more aesthetically pleasing. Besides the seriousness of those issues, there are a few tales included in this book which should make you laugh out loud if you have any sense of humor at all.
I highly recommend both Splatterpunk I and II.

It will haunt you for the rest of your life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Splatterpunks: Extreme Horror (Paperback)
"Abandon all hope , ye who enter", is what should be written on the first page of this book. Abandon all hope of ever ridding your mind of the horrific images conjured up in this collection of depraved short stories, Richard Christian Matheson's RED, a mere two pages, is the most horrifying, discusting,perversity of circumstance I have ever read in my life;I have never forgotton it and still have periodic nightmares where I wake up screaming and clawing at the air... And I'm not even going to think about "Crucifax Autumn" by Ray Garton, it makes my gag reflex violently act up..... If there is one book to buy, or fear it is "Splatter Punks"..

Splatterpunks: Extreme Boredom,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Splatterpunks: Extreme Horror (Paperback)
I was actually really excited to order this book, but what a let-down. The stories left me lukewarm at best. I don't think any of the stories were downright terrible, but they just weren't very stimulating, as I now can't remember one detail that stands out in my mind. But I do remember getting bored and dumping it off on the used bookstore lady in my town.
