Run, Teddy Bear, Run

by Jimmy Pudge

After terrorizing a local summer camp during the 80's and early 90's, the Teddy Bear Killer suddenly vanished once the camp closed down. Now, years later, the camp is reopening and the killer has decided to come out of retirement. Unfortunately for the Teddy Bear Killer, killing campers ain’t what it used to be. The hunter is about to become the hunted.

About the author

Jimmy James "M.F." Pudge was born into this world on 6-9-1979 in a truck stop toilet at a TA Travel Center in the backwoods of South Georgia. An honest and conscientious man, Jimmy served several prison sentences because he refused to give in to the federal laws that impose independent spirits' rights to be entrepreneurs. An expert in the art of pruno, shank construction, and paper dart blow guns, Jimmy briefly served as a leader in his dorm room before being released early for good behavior.

I see why this didn't get stellar reviews, but I also didn't think it was bad at all. The premise takes the summer camp killer concept but spins it around a bit with lots of sexual content, violence, and intrigue. That all made this a unique and solid outing. However, the pacing is extremely quick and all of the internal conflicts happening between Richard and his wife, the campers, etc, all just whizzed by, without more than just a few sentences to address. Again, the content itself was fine, but the story needed to be much longer and more fleshed out to be anything more than a Shingles-type horror book. Still worth a read, but taper your expectations a bit.

see i was expecting actual teenagers to be turning on the killer, not 20 year old drug addicts..?

Pudge does it again, with his latest. Here we have a story rough and ready for the screen. This story screams to be made into a slasher film, and I hope it finds its way into the hands of someone who can make it happen.

Short but sweet - Just like my reviews.
The hunter becomes the hunted, always makes for a good read. You want whats coming to him and he gets it.
I do have one question though - how did he get out of the car?!

This was good overall, but it shifted from something hilarious to something a bit more serious. Honestly, I could have used a book just about Charles Bronte and that would have been a 5 star read.

Hilarious horror story!

I've never been so entertained by such a short horror story before! I'm definitely going to read more from this author.

Jimmy Pudge is one of my favorite writers and I can see how he's evolved as well. Is he violent? Yes, Should his books come with a seat belt and a helmet? Sure why not. The one thing you can't say is that his books aren't enterraining.

Run, Teddy Bear, Run reminds of those classic B-movies that combine an equal balance of humor and gore. As I read it I imagined Jason Vorhees trudging back to Camp Crystal Lake after a considerable absence. Despite the thrill and terror that the TBK killer caused he's now older and slower and that is what makes the book so intriguing.

What happens at the end raises the question of what would you if you were in the same situation. The book really takes off when the hunter becomes the hunted and as with every Pudge book there's a body count but it fits into the story but this isn't a standard horror novel. Jimmy Pudge has created an entertaining novel that cements his place as a talented horror/bizarro author

This is my second short by Jimmy Pudge. After reading "Bad Billy" I was excited to come across another one of his shorts.
"Bad Billy" was F'N amazing.

As for this title. The opening of the story goes great, then goes into a bunch of blahs. But wait read on, because the end is suspencfully marvelous.

The ending was the only part that kept this story likeable for me. I will look forward to more of Pudge's work.

I stand by my initial assessment that the story has potential, but needs development (and an editor). There's no motivation behind the characters' actions, and there's no character development. The characters are flat and there's no differentiating them from each other. The simplicity of the narrative screams children's book, but the subject matter cries out for a more mature approach

A silly read that started out interesting, then went off the rails. Not for me.
