After a fried-chicken-fueled sex romp, Eddie embarks on a perverted odyssey. Murder, torture, geriatrics, bugs, and big, beautiful women all fail to satisfy until he meets the Maggot Mother—a nymphomaniac, cannibal, human-maggot hybrid with a sweet side. As the calories and corpses pile up, a beautiful cop with her own dark sexual perversions is hot on Eddie’s trail. What will be the end result when their depraved worlds finally collide?
This book contains graphic content and adult language. It may disturb some readers and should only be read by seasoned readers of extreme sexual horror and violence.
Simon McHardy is the author of the infamous MOTHER MAGGOT. He lives a reclusive life in Tasmania Australia. Due to the extreme nature of his books, most are exclusive to Godless.com.
So I’m not sure how I’ve avoided Simon McHardy for this long. His books are supposed to be depraved, vile, insane, wild adventures…all things that I thoroughly enjoy. So my first book by him, Mother Maggot, was like nothing else that I’ve ever seen. Hands down the most perverted, deviant, and gag-worthy book that I could imagine. I actually washed my hands every few minutes, while reading on my Kindle. The whole experience just made me wiggle and squirm in my seat, feeling like I wronged God by reading such debaucherous content. But the story is very original, intense, and, if you can get passed the nonstop sex and violence, absolutely hysterical and entertaining. I laughed out loud at something on almost every page. McHardy’s writing is so unique and well-done, making you feel the sensations of each character and their downright nasty fetishes. It’s one of the few books that I started and finished without taking a break. I’m going to go take a shower, call my psychiatrist and ask for my medication dosages to be increased, as this book made my PTSD even worse, lol. All joking aside, I enjoyed this book more than I’d like to admit and plan to visit this author’s insane literary world many more times to come.
Wow, this is some intensely stomach-churning material. If you can think it, it goes there, and more. Either despite or because of of all the corruptly deviant actions and deranged characters is the fact that I simply could not stop reading this book until its maggoty conclusion. Yeah, I liked it. I will be reading more by Simon McHardy.
I wanted to save up to take my kids to Marioland in Japan. But that will have to wait. I will now be saving up to come to Australia. There I will ask everyone I meet if they are you or if they know you. One day, after a long search, you will unsuspectingly answer that you are, in fact, Simon Mchardy. I will drop a penny on the ground, pick it up, and sucker punch you in the dick and balls.
Why? Because I just read Mother Maggot. I’m fat, Simon and I love to eat. My husband, much like Eddie, loves bigger women. I have not wanted to eat since I finished your novel. Which will lead to my husband bugging me, making me irritable and I will yell. My children will ask, “Mommy? Daddy? Why are you shouting?” I will say because of Simon Mchardy.
Fast forward 14 years. My son will be in prison for stabbing anyone named Simon and my daughter will be a stripper… named Simone McFarty because she has her Mother’s humor.
You will have ruined generations of my family but not made my barf. I don’t know which is worse to be honest. I hate vomiting but I hate that my family may now be cursed because of your novel.
This book is gross, disturbing, nauseating, yet hilarious and actually really freaking great. A definite must read for those with iron stomachs or families to curse.
I'm giving this book five stars because, for the kind of book this is, it's immaculately woven, high art. Of all the sub-genres of horror, I find body horror the most unsettling, disturbing, and disgusting. To me, Mother Maggot is a true body horror masterpiece, although it might even be considered comedy body horror. If I wasn't on the verge of puking, I was laughing my face off. I always read on my lunch break at work, and yesterday I realized that I was laughing so loud that my voice was echoing throughout the lunch room. Good thing I was the only one in there, I guess. On the previous day, I'd been reading this while eating lunch and I actually had to put it away and read something else because it got to be too much to handle and I was beginning to feel physically ill. If you want to read something totally effed up and arguably insane, definitely check this out! There's a purity about this book in that the author has a clear goal, fearlessly, unapologetically goes for it without holding anything back, and the results are both cringe-inducing and stunning. Oh, and there's a scene involving my favorite weapon, the chainsaw! All hail the Mother Maggot! :D
Well, it was definitely very gross, that’s for damn sure. Page to page images that’ll turn your stomach and make you grimace. I’m pleased (aka relieved) to say that despite Mr. McHardy’s efforts, I’m still able to eat one of my favorite foods. The book’s protagonist, Eddie, had a rather, shall we say, creative use for it. Whew! But ‘A’ for effort, Mr. McHardy!
At first I wasn’t sure about this one, because it seemed like a series of gross-out vignettes. But then about 25% or so in, they came together in a cohesive story.
It’s full of pretty repulsive images yet through all that it’s an entertaining story. It won’t be for everyone, so take the warnings seriously.
Mother Maggot by Simon McHardy is a book which has gained a certain level of notoriety, with many readers proclaiming it to be the sickest, wildest, most fucked-up tale they’ve ever read. While there’s no doubt Mother Maggot flies close to the edge, I think some of those who view it solely as a dip into the murky pool of obscene weirdness might have missed something. The story has depth, and highlights a vulnerability in the main character which makes him relatable.
Eddie, the protagonist of Mother Maggot, has his problems; of that there can be no argument. However, he’s driven by an inability to find what he needs, and although his behaviour can nosedive into abject depravity, he remains a tortured soul being sucked down into a swamp of uncertainty and insecurity.
Okay, and he fucks his aunt with a chicklen drumstick, but haven’t we all done that at some point in our lives? It’s easy to snigger at Mother Maggot, but below the scum ring of flab-shagging and prolapsed vaginas, there’s a story of our times!
McHardy also does the one thing I appreciate in any bleak book; he injects a level of humour which is just enough to take the rough edges off. Imagine being buggered with a tree branch. Well, McHardy’s humour performs the nicety of whittling off the sharp edges!
If you want depravity, Mother Maggot delivers, but there’s a deeper tale lurking under the surface too.
Well....... This book was filthy gross and disgusting but really to me it was fucking hilarious. I was grossed out going what the actual hell. This book played in my head like a animation. It was like if you took adult swim put it in a blender added some sexual fetishes and took some hallucinogens it was awesome. In fact I think this book needs to be made into a animated series so mother maggot can come to life. I also think there might be something wrong with me😂😂😂😂😂😂. Look forward to reading more from Simon McHardy Bravo man this book will be stuck in my head for a long time.
What a wonderful children’s book to learn about insects. Not🤮. Typically not my genre of book but it’s like driving by a car wreck, when you read reviews about how disgusting something is and it being banned, how can you not want to take a gander? Normally, I find books that test the limits of shock value complete garbage with no depth to the book other than trying to see what you can get away with writing. But the jokes were clever and the story kept me entertained. Not a literary masterpiece by any means but for what it is, it was better than expected.
It was disgustingly gross at first and then kinda became a little repetitive. It was short. If it would’ve been longer and had a more interesting story, I would give it four stars. But I think the author has a way with words and would like to read something else of his with a more intricate narrative. I feel like a need a shower and go to church now
Well, what to say about the most vile, shock & awe splatterpunk story that I've ever read? For me, the bar has been raised to a new level. I cannot imagine anything ever topping this for sheer repugnance. Like, ever. Attempting it would definitely raise eyebrows. I've never read anything like this, well, I have, but not like THIS. My current reigning Heavyweight Champion of the Splatterpunk genre is absolutely, positively Mother Maggot by Simon McHardy. 5/5 Skulls 💀💀💀💀💀
I think it says more about me than it does the story that I managed to get through the entire thing without being sick.
Mother Maggot Uncensored is not a story for the weak of stomach. McHardy delivers a tasty blend of gross and hilariousness that will certainly be remembered by any that dare read it.
What in the world did I just read!! This was one crazy, derange, disgusting, maggots filled ride. This author has one hell of imagination. From the first line I was hooked and couldn’t put down this book. And the ending…did not expect that at all. Amazing story, definitely a must read if you have a strong stomach
I absolutely loved the first half of this book. It was fun, gross, and totally fun. Then it changed. Still good, but it seemed like chaos in the story. Characters were thrown together. It was still good.. just not as good as the beginning. It's still a solid read. Entertainment guaranteed.
Mother Maggot by Simon McHardy is a book that will leave you shocked, disgusted, and entertained all at the same time. The best way I can describe it in short it is like a car crash that even though it’s horrific you simply cannot tear your eyes away from it.
I kept hearing fantastic things about Simon’s book, but I was not fully aware of everything it had packed within it’s pages. Once I started reading I could not stop! Out of the gates running Mother Maggot is horrific, graphic, brutal, disgusting, and overall amazing! This is not for weak stomached people. If you couldn’t watch The Human Centipede or thought it was gross… well, you have not seen anything yet!
Mother Maggot follows the storylines of two individuals. Eddie’s parents died, he is taken in by his Aunt Nella, and his life is forever changed. Eddie soon develops some strange sexual desires, and he will go to any length to get what he wants.
Cindy is the other character whose storyline is also followed. Her story begins on Prom Night, but later she becomes a homicide detective with her own depraved sexual fetishes. Like Eddie, she will do whatever it takes to get what she wants.
Mother Maggot was so difficult for me to categorize because it seems to have everything a Splatterpunk fiend loves! Murder, sex, really bizarre sexual situations, monsters, filth, depravity, bugs (especially maggots), insane fetishes, death, corpses, necrophilia, and so much more! McHardy will set you on a path through a gauntlet of depraved horror delight! The writing is well done, and I absolutely admire the fact that Simon doesn’t remove his Aussie lingo and terminology from his writing. I really do not want to give spoilers away, because this one is best to go into headfirst for a crazy and wild ride! However, as I stated this is next level disgusting Splatterpunk, and those who are weak stomached or faint of heart you better be prepared.
I really had to think of how to rate this book. There is absolutely so much that happens it is amazing considering the page length. The creativity and the research into fetishes, and other unsavory topics alone is admirable. I sure hope Simon’s searches still do not haunt his computer. I learned a lot of things I would have never guessed existed from Mother Maggot, and that is truly mind blowing!
I have to give Mother Maggot by Simon McHardy five stars out of five stars. I haven’t read anything like this before. It is the most flat out nasty and gross Splatterpunk book I’ve read so far. In regards to the content is what I mean. A lot of the topics in the book will make bile rise in your throat, others will leave you in stitches, and others will leave you befuddled. Simon McHardy is truly a horse of a different color, and I like that!
To all of my fellow Splatterpunk junkies out there Mother Maggot is a must read! I read it in one sitting. It really is that engrossing… and just gross. Overall, entertaining as all get out. Until next time, my friends.
Sooooo... I want to congratulate Simon on being the one that grossed me out I feel totally and utterly disgusted lol.. This little slice of ewwww and yuk was awesome and has left me questioning myself.. If you have a weak stomach probably give this a miss.. No kink shaming but farting and maggot banging is definitely not for me.. Eddie and Cindy prove to never judge a book by its cover because those two a sick sick puppies.. I love this author he has the perfect balance of humour and messed up that I enjoy.
Welp, I read that. It was absolutely disgusting. If you could imagine the worst possible yuck, I bet it's in here. Really good description, well written. Vile, horrible, gross, and somehow completely enjoyable.
Some books really plumb the depths of human depravity, exploring what the mind is capable of producing and what heinous atrocities man is capable of inflicting upon his fellow...and then there's MOTHER MAGGOT. Few modern examples of extreme horror are as infamous, as close to the archetype of disgust in book form, as this testament to degenerate behavior truly is. Simon McHardy is one of my favorite working horror authors and, if you can stomach this book all the way to the end, (and 'stomach' is the word, trust me), I'd venture a guess that he'll join your list, too. And let me just tell you...if you think I'm exaggerating, you should buy the book and read it for yourself. I'm one of those people who sees a review or a warning like this and scoffs at the marketing tactics implied, but just seeing the cover of MOTHER MAGGOT inspires a reflexive wave of nausea in me 6 months plus after reading it. Just read it...you'll regret it, but in a good way.
I'll be sending Simon McHardy the bill for the therapy I'm going to need to return to society after reading this. It cannot be overemphasized how disgusting this was. If you haven't ever read extreme horror before, don't start here. Should only be attempted by the seasoned splatterpunk reader, and even then maybe not.
Just when you think you've seen it all, an author like Simon McHardy put it all into perspective and let's you know that even if you think you've witnessed the most depraved and fucked up human behavior possible, it can ALWAYS get darker and even more twisted.
Very entertaining book from beginning to end. Also one of the funniest horror novels I've ever read.
I couldn’t stop reading until I finished the whole thing. Wow. Just wow. This is not a story for everyone, and the warning is well earned. And I enjoyed every second of it. The characters were interesting, the story was engaging, and I can’t recommend it enough for extreme horror fans. I only wish it could have been longer. Well done, and I can’t wait to read more by this author.
What do you do when you've been extremely grossed out reading Mother Maggot? You go back for seconds this time Uncensored. I couldn't not read this it was an impulsion. I had to see how extra, how grotesque, how fabulously disgusting uncensored Mother Maggot could be.. I'm not gonna spoiler it just read it yourself and enjoy the wrongness.
I didn't know what I was getting into with this one. I read a LOT of extreme horror, but this one takes the cake (no pun intended). This was truly the most disgusting thing I have EVER read! But I just couldn't stop. I had to see how it ended. Read at your own risk.
