From the disturbed depraved minds of Otis Bateman (Maggot Girl Series, Cerberus) Stuart Bray (Violence on the Meek, Broken Pieces of June) and Stephen Cooper (The Rot, Near Death) comes three tales so vile that they shouldn’t be read by anyone and have ensured the authors’ places in Hell. Yet we dare you to read these sick stories about a couple of edgelord nut jobs intent on becoming Dark Web superstars, A kidney-stone-eating abuser who’s hungry for his next meal, and the Golden Cumpuss, a place where human waste is not only on the menu, but is the speciality. If you’ve got a trigger warning, it’s probably in this book. But that’s your problem, not ours…
Movies from hell - 4⭐️ Kidney stones - 3.5⭐️ Golden Cumpuss - 3.5 ⭐️ I enjoyed all 3 stories but I thought Bateman’s was the best . Overall a great read
How am I supposed to write a review to a book when I feel like I need to take shower.. with Lysol and Bleach..
HolyFuckingMoly this was a ride…
I think this one pushed my boundaries…
This is Splatterpunk at its finest.
I will go read a book about Fairies now or nice smut book to clear and clean my brain from this bilefestorgy (I know this is not a word but that’s how I feel lmao)…
Trigger warnings: uhm 😶 all of them. Literally all of them.
ETA: I told y’all this was garbage and the recent news about two of the “authors” (edgelord wattpad enthusiasts) came as no shock. No talent, no morals.
I would have rated higher for the amazing ability the writers had in disgusting me and really pushing the boundaries (actually surpassing them), but I kind of got bored with the over the top “bro” talk and the supremely adolescent descriptions of body parts and sexual acts in the first story. If it were in the first person, this would be understandable.. but it wasn’t.. so it was the authors voice speaking like a 14 year old who just found out about splatterpunk and wanted to shock his bro friends at school with graphic stories. It wasn’t even the gore that got to me, it was the writing.
I’d skip. There’s better out there. There are also loads of typos.
For some reason Otis Bateman is obsessed with the word “unfathomable”. Stephen Cooper is a racist mf that uses the n word slur. Did they manage to disturb and disgust me with their stories?-Yes. Did I enjoy them?-No. Although the one about stones wasn’t half bad.

Overall Thoughts:
{{DISCLAIMER: I WRITE MY REVIEW AS I READ}}
I want to start this review with this; I do not support the 2 authors (Bateman & Cooper). I only read this book because it's been downloaded from Kindle unlimited for a long time. I've never read anything from them but I thought why not review this in my most interesting way possible.
"This is your last chance to bail before things get really Fucked Up!" I knew I was in for some fun when they capitalized "fucked up". You know they mean business now.
Home Movies from Hell by Otis Bateman
But gives people at the torture place I've never seen someone put a drill and a dog's butt and kill him that way. I would think that would be the basics of what they show. So saying that his video is just so great and unique seems stupid.
Daisy's mother throws her and her 10 year out on the streets (of course they are females - torture is always female and children). Daisy is 38 weeks pregnant but you'd never know it because she picks up clothes with ease and is able to walk/sit without discomfort.
While waiting at the bus stop a man, Sid tells her that the bus already came for the night. To this Daisy says; “Oh really? Geez, thanks for letting us know, sir. I guess we better figure out something else then,” He (a man she just met) offers her his tent at the homeless camp he is staying at. No where in the sentance that Daisy said did she say she was homeless, just that she missed the bus. It seems so out of place to be offered a place to stay by a stranger and honestly suspicious too.
So of course Daisy a pregnant woman with a little child says this to herself; She did not fear Sid, and something told her to trust him, so she did. Like are you kidding me??? She's in the dark, at a bus stop all alone when a man approaches her and her child and she has zero fear, she then decides that sure she trusts him. Do these writers even know that a woman would be terrified? Daisy doesn't look up homeless shelters in her area. She doesn't call anyone to see if she can stay the night. She has the money for a night at a hotel but staying in a strangers tent is what she decides to do.
Dizzy then goes with Sid and her child. Her child is very excited to go with a stranger she's never seen before as well as Daisy laughing about this whole situation. Not even a little bit bothered that her grandmother threw her out.
Also using the names Eric and Dylan as idolizing the killers from the Columbine shootings. Yuck.
Bruh/bro/dude 1,000 times.
They talk about how they watch Forensic Files and all those other shows so they know how to get away with things, but then they park in a muddy road and that seems stupid. I mean what if they get stuck in the road? Plus tire tracks that's a thing.
I'm convinced Eric and Dylan just need to have sex with one another. All this frustration of wanting to kill people comes from hiding their homosexuality. The way they are with each other it just seems like they want each other.
Oh my God so she's no Sid for like a few hours and they're like man you can come live with us. This is how you know a man wrote This Book.
Author steals a line from The Crow; "They're all dead. They just don't know it."
There is zero way that a mother wouldn't yell for her daughter to run away from this scene.
Also how high quality with this recording be of the murders? It's night time, there's a fire and they're filming it via GoPro so it'd be really jumpy. I just can't imagine the quality that they're turning in is better than other people.
Guess that doesn't matter because they both forgot to record. Course these two don't act an unusual manner because most people would be upset but they don't even seem bother that they wasted this much time and didn't even get this. I guess they're just such killers that they don't even have emotions to get upset.
They still didn't have sex with each other though.
Boring and predictable
RATING:
⭐
Kidney Stones: An American Delicacy by Stuart Bray
The story starts out pretty gross with this kid eating kidney stones from a toilet. So that was pretty disgusting
Of course his mother catches him and drives him out to the car where they drive back home. The scene of his mother being hit by a dump truck or gravel truck I don't know which one reminded me of the movie Identity. Where the kids mother is in the road trying to talk to him and a car flies by and hits her.
Really confused because in one sentence this dude says he worked at the hospital so it was like a buffet of kidney stones but then we jump to the next few pages where he talks about how hardly anyone has kidney stones that they actually passed at the hospital. His lack of kidney stones is so bad that he's had to give himself them and now he's forcing his dog to have kidney stones. So what was the point of saying that the hospital was a buffet?
Here I was thinking he cared about the dog but he's just worried about the kidney stones inside Kato. It makes me really sad to think that this dog was nothing more than an incubator his kidney stones
Dude rushes into this vets office demanding they take the kidney stones out of the dog even threatening them Plus being racist to the doctor by assuming that he's Indian not Indigenous. That's what time I'm just like why didn't they call the police? He ends up getting the vet to cut the dog open for like half an hour and it's such a hostile situation I'm still shocked at like the receptionist wouldn't have called the police or at least one of the customers. I mean he's threatening to kill people.
Turns out Kato didn't even have kidney stones he had a tumor and of course her weirdo guy decides he wants to try a tumor. This leads to him meeting a homeless man to take home and groom. It's only a few days later and the homeless man has stones already. Just seemed so fast to get stones. Kidney stones usually take weeks or months to show up.
I didn't care for the racial slurs in this I feel like it was pointless and came out of nowhere. No where in the story did it point that the main character would "need" to use them.
RATING:
⭐⭐ ⭐
The Golden Compuss by Stephen Cooper
Well the name of this story is terrible *rolls eyes*
I'm sorry I read the first page of this story and just quit. Using a racist slur (again) this time to describe an Asian person. I mean why? What's the point????
Honestly the way this author describes different ethnic backgrounds as though they're vomit or poop is going to be different than being what white is ridiculous. What a racist way of saying that only Mexican people are eating nachos which isn't even Mexican.
RATING:
negative star
Final Thoughts: I'm going to be honest the writing from Bray really shines through (though in this collection doesn't say much). The other "authors" just felt like they wrote cheap thrills while Bray gives us a story about a character - the dog. When the dog died I was so so sad.
The other two basic white guys writing stories can go jerk one another off. Their stories were terrible. I don't need Coopers racism in this world. I don't need Bateman's love of rape either.
Nope. Not for me. Snuff films, child porn, eating kidney stones out of a public toilet..etc. Did not get past page one. So if you like extreme depravity, this is the book for you. For the otherwise curious reader, I would proceed with caution.
When Judith Sonnet's review simply read, "What the f**k, dude?" I knew I had to read this one the second it was released.
Three of the most vile voices in the splatterpunk/extreme horror genres teamed up to create three of the most puke-worthy stories ever imagined.
Home Movie from Hell: Two amateur filmmakers want to make it big in the snuff film industry. The torture and gore was stomach churning.
Kidney Stones: The pain from these is worse than childbirth. It never occurred to me that someone could make them completely disgusting on a whole different level.
The Golden Cumpuss: Rich people eat some weird stuff, but this story took the cake.
With every single trigger warning imaginable, this slim collection will stay in your head indefinitely.
Home Movies From Hell: 3.5 stars Loved the ending, great descriptions like always. I was not a fan of using real names for this. Overall pretty funny and gruesome.
Kidney Stones: 4 stars It was supposed to be disgusting and it worked. I was a bit sick in my mouth.
The Golden Cumpuss: 3.5 stars Loved the writing, I think this was the story with the most development.
It seems you’ve made it to the end of your journey in one fucking piece.
Reading all those disturbing tales of depravity must have taken a toll on your mind, body, and soul. How does it feel knowing you have successfully ensured your place in hell?
Well, just because you’ve grown numb to the fire doesn’t mean your suffering has to end…
… We’ll be back before you know it.
Until then, keep your hands off your cock and cunts.
Three extreme horror stories, each by a truly gifted writer. All three are deeply disturbing to read, from a horrific story of abuse to make money on the Dark Web, to the management of a rather bizarre and utterly disgusting vice, to the fulfilment of very dark tastes. Very little is left to the imagination; the scenes of sexuality and violence are graphic, and the characters have motivations that are chillingly believable. There's some subtle humor, some rather thorough research (I'm looking at you, Mr Bateman!) and, well, I'm a bit embarrassed to say, a whole lot of fun for us extreme horror fans!!! IT WILL MAKE YOUR SOUL CRY!
These authors titled this book 100% accurately as this book was absolutely f****** DISGUSTING and beyond sick and depraved! Gagged a few times and wondered why in the actual hell I was reading such filth. I have no answer. So there ya go.
Three nasty stories. My favorite of the 3 was Bateman's story. The 2nd story was vile. The 3rd story was completely deranged. Great job with this one. Can't wait until the next set of stories.
If your read this you are going to hell. You can't be saved. Story 1 - Eric was pumped that his video had been applauded by the infamous video creators on the dark web. They liked it so much they would pay handsomely for more content. Eric wanted people to pay, he loved paying destructon and wanted to move up to the upper echelons of depravity. Go Pro attached, an array of weaponry and minds polluted with death. 3 people will be burnt, hacked, stabbed, hot coals stuffed in mouths, the killers will breath in the intoxication of mayhem. Pure Hell. Story 2 - a young boy fascinated with kidney stones stumbles upon a chance to feed on some from a public toilet, little Grey like pebbles which would break into his mouth. The pebbles like swimming fish in the bowl moving around. He tried to give himself kidney stone but to no avail. He would work at a hospital to try to get a supply. He made his dog get them and made the vet remove them for his greedy self. Story 3 - a place for the rich, a place no words can describe the human filth that frequented this place to feed and savor on human waste and flesh. This story was way too gross to write about here. Stephen Cooper is becoming a legend in the gross out/splatterpunk genre. He is evil good. Three completely different stories all equal in achieving a reaction of sick shit.
This definitely wasn’t as great of a collection as I had hoped it would be. Stuart Bray’s story was the best and most original.
Home Movies from Hell by Otis Bateman: A young man and his friend make some splatterpunk films. I wasn’t a fan of this one, the writing was just “meh” and the story didn’t stand out compared to the other two entries.
Kidney Stone by Stuart Bray: “I was only thirteen when I tried my first taste of kidney stones from a public toilet in the park.” Holy shit, what an opening sentence!!! This was definitely a gross story (poor Kato 😭) that had me gagging. Great idea and delivery with this entry!
The Golden Cumpuss by Stephen Cooper: the nasty level was high, but I didn’t think the racist terminology was necessary to the story at all. It seemed to be there more for shock value.
Reading this will 100% ensure your place in hell. The first book is so extreme about 2 boys who like to record themselves doing questionable acts to others in hopes of getting in with the big guns who sell snuff videos. This was repulsive but in every way it was good! Second one I found a little basic. Basically a man eats kidney stones. That’s all there really is to it. Third one OHHH MY. A bar that sells and gives you everything you could ever want, urine, feaces, blood, ANYTHING. But Christ on a bike the ending you have no idea. This one just got me. Read it all in one go!
I was excited about this collection as I have become a bit obsessed with Stuart Bray and had yet to read anything from Bateman or Cooper. Let’s get into it.
Home Movies from Hell by Otis Bateman - two young men, Eric and Dylan, find that trying to make money can be fun and bloody.
Kidney Stones: An American delicacy by Stuart Bray - Mikey develops a taste for kidney stones after his curiosity get the better of him but the lengths he will go to are anything but normal.
The Golden Cumpuss by Stephen Cooper - Josie works for The Golden Cumpuss where the rich dine on… well… you will find out when you read it. When Royce finds out a specific delicacy will not be his, he begins planning an escape. But things do not go according to plan… at all.
Stephen Cooper, sir. Yes. Yes to all of your story. I was (am) completely blown away by his contribution to the collection. It was absolutely disgusting and a semi-love story and terrible diets, it really has everything. Stuart Bray yet again proves he is to be taken seriously in this community as he is amazing at knowing how to turn a stomach or two. Bateman, unfortunately missed the mark for me with his story but some may absolutely love it.
Grotesque. Vile. Depraved. So good! Otis Bateman's story was hands-down my favorite. It was extreme and bloody and so much fun. Bray's reminded me of Volpe's Strawberry Shortcake story and it was really nauseating. Cooper's was extreme in every way. Fabulous collaboration by three sick, twisted individuals. If there is another collab by them I will absolutely read it. 5 stars.
Scoot over and make some room, because I am going to hell with you. These three stories pretty much cover all the trigger warnings out there. Depraved, disgusting, violent, and unapologetic—I mean that in the best way possible. Like to be grossed out? This is definitely a title for you. A trifecta of truama. Excellent work.
Don’t read, unless you’re familiar with extreme horror.
If you, for some reason, happen to purchase this book because of my review and read it despite the above warning, I would understand it if you pretend to have never met me the next time we come across each other irl.
What in all heck did??? Wow. Okay. I don’t even know what to tell you. This was a top tier Splatterpunk. Thanks, Otis, for sending me this amazing book
I’m glad that I’ve ensured my place in hell… but I don’t believe in that. I believe in the Nordic version: Hel. So I’ll gladly go there for this book!
Man I’ve never encountered a book where it made me ball my fucking eyes out within the first 2 pages! I almost DNF’d this at the beginning because I can’t handle animals getting hurt/ tortured/ or killed. This book was really well written with incredible detail. I enjoyed all the twists at the end which made my heart drop. In all honesty, this book makes August Underground, Jigsaw from Saw, and the Human Centipede movies look like pansies sucking on their thumb in preschool! Want torture that surpasses Jigsaw? No problem! This book is for you!
Home Movies From Hell- 3.5 ⭐️ Kidney Stones- 3 ⭐️ The Golden Cumpuss- 4.5 ⭐️
This book I think will be maybe read once a year type of book 🤘
Ensuring your place in hell. That's exactly how I feel after reading this filth. This is a collection of 3 short stories. The first by Otis Bateman, this follows two amateur film makers who want to make it big in the dark web film industry. The torture and graphic scenes makes you question yourself as to why your reading this to begin with. The second story by Stuart Bray.... Jesus Christ it had me gagging on my own bile. The next time I pass a kidney stone, Mikey better stay the hell away from me. Sick freak. And lastly, we have Stephen Cooper's story about gourmet delicacies that caters to only the elite. I'm not talking about cavier either. These people will pay top price for the worst of the worst. It reminded me of Hostle, but with more bodily fluids. Altogether, this was a great book with sickening stories that will stay with me for a while. I would definitely check this book out if you are ready to reserve your ticket to hell.
So, this was excellent. I had to skip the first few pages of the first story because it had animal abuse, which I can’t do. Babies are fine, animals nope. However I wasn’t put off to carry on and boy I’m glad I did. Brutal. Second story was just gross. Made me laugh gross. The thing is there are people out there that do this. Third story was just so messed up. I wonder if places like this really exist. If you want to know what I’m talking about, just read it. Also like I’ve said before don’t go crying when you realise you can’t handle it. It’s extreme and the warnings are there for a reason.
