I haven’t read much from JM Gokey, but this fit the bill for my horror fix today. I love…repeat….love when other horror writers try something new. Whether a completely new concept or a reimagining of some established subgenre, it does my little black heart good. The hatebug was just that. Very fresh and versatile, this particular antagonist really was a solid antagonist for our lead, Stella. Toss around some PTSD from her childhood with the newfound, horrifying experiences that she encountered as an adult, with some primo gore, you have yourselves a nasty little horror platter, ready to be consumed. But I had a really good time here and hope that this isn’t the last we see of the hate bug. Lots of possibilities there, all of which would be on par with this story.

First J.M. Gokey story I've read, and I liked it.
It opened with a father tucking in his daughter at night and warning her not to let the "Hatebug" bite, and that piqued his daughter's interest, which led to the father reminiscing about the murder/s*icide of his older brother's family.
Then that young girl seeing her mother's dead body and witnessing her father kill himself.
And fast-forward to that girl all grown-up now, succumbing to the same urge to kill everyone around her, before she ends herself.
And it was all because of a pact that her uncle (her father's older brother) made with the devil a long time ago.
I think that's where it fell flat for me. I'm not entirely sure how the "Hatebug" came into being. Was it part of the original bargain that Stella's uncle negotiated with the devil? Was it the devil's way of collecting what was owed? Maybe.
I guess being unsure of it made me dock 1 star. It's still pretty good, though. It felt like I was watching an episode of Supernatural.

Stella remembers asking her dad about the hatebug when she was a kid. Thinking he was going to tell her that it was a stupid kid ghost story. To her surprise he became petrified. He told her of his experience with the hatebug and what it did to his family, little did she know she was going to see what the hate bug does to someone later that night. Years later still in therapy for what happened that night, she’s older now. Throwing a halloween party seemed like a good idea, until a bug bite to her neck changed the course of the evening.
This was such a fun story, I listened to the audiobook done by Carietta Dorsch, she brought so much fun and light to the story I absolutely loved her narration! This story was fast paced and fleshed out properly. With short stories it’s hard for me to feel for characters, This was my exception, I cared for Stella and what happened to her and her family. I was rooting for her and was angry for her. Such amazing storytelling and such a unique concept I absolutely loved this story!

This was a fun extreme horror read featuring a parasite that starts off as an innocent Halloween story. The Hatebug is more than just a parasite; it instills fear into its victims. The story is a good old-fashioned romp that chronicles Stella's events after she hears the story of the 'Hatebug'.
It contains plenty of gore and action. For 31 pages, the story has quite the impact and shows what the Hatebug is capable of. Considering Halloween just passed, this was the perfect story to read. The only complaint was that it was too short, but it's clearly labeled as a short story. Although, there is a small sign that there might be more. I hope so, because I don't think we've seen the last of the Hatebug.
Overall, if you enjoy extreme horror, give this one a read. It has parasites, which is not something that's common. Good read!

If sex, blood, and rock-and-roll is your thing, check out The Hatebug.
Comparables: House of 1,000 Corpses, The Conjuring (specifically the Bathsheba possession parts at the end), and American Horror Story: Season 1.
This short story is geared toward the Halloween crowd who crave, as Malcom McDowell says in A Clockwork Orange, "a bit of the old ultra-violence."
The story starts off with a flashback and complimentary creepy children's fable about "the Hatebug." Flashforward 17 years, it's Halloween night and already traumatized Stella is bitten by the Hatebug and thus ensues murder and mayhem. This is a possession story, which I did not expect, and it was engaging and imaginative.
The violence is not random for the sake of shock value (cough-Terrifier-cough). It's targeted toward Stella's closest friends in personal ways, and there are clear themes of generational family trauma, grief, and repression of emotions.

At age 3, Stella heard of the Hatebug. Not knowing what it truly was, what she knew was that after hearing that term, her whole life turned upside down. Now older, Stella goes to therapy for a traumatic event that happened when she was younger.
It's also Halloween night and her roommate went all out to throw a party. Not thrilled about it, Stella heads home when all of a sudden she feels something on her neck.
I loved this quick read! It has the Halloween party vibes and there is nice gore! Stella just can't catch a break! The beginning has that creepy feel and after comes the bloodshed. Gokey does excellent shorts and this is another great one! I'm left wanting more of Stella

Audiobook version*
Carietta is killing it with these audiobook voiceovers! I had a blast listening to this extreme horror short. The imagery was very vivid in this one. Gore, violence and Halloween spooky vibes!!
The Hatebug is presented as a Halloween Children’s tale but this demonic bug is actually very real and ready to claim its next victim 😱🕷️🕸️

An interesting concept I’d enjoy reading more of, more fully fleshed out. Good for a dark spooky season night when you’re looking for something unapologetically brutal. Only complaint is that it’s too short. Moments of shock would have benefitted by more time to build up.

I need to know more about the Hatebug! This felt like a very small peek into a very ancient demon like entity that has been around for a long time. I’m hoping we get more of the history when JM comes out with another one! Some great gory icky scenes, the author knows how to write the “ew” factor well. Very interested to see what happens next in the Hatebug universe.

Happy reading 🪲📖

Don’t Let The Hatebug Get Inside You
Audiobook Review: The Hatebug – J.M. Gokey
Narrated by Carietta Dorsch
My Verdict: Great take on possession horror with an extreme angle.
I promised myself I won’t get long-winded, but we will see how that goes.
I had seen The Hatebug online, and it was one of those books where you earmark it as, “I will definitely get to that,” even though your TBR grows as heads of a Hydra; for every book you finish, two more appear. You like the way the book looks, or the title just hits you right, and you theoretically know that you want to read it, but when and where it will happen, you’re just not sure. That was The Hatebug for me.
One morning I was begrudgingly scrolling the Tok and I came across a J.M. Gokey “Friends Only” video—I had followed Gokey already but had not made the Hatebug connection—where the author was offering Audible credits for the book, and I immediately requested one.
This brings us here. I tried once to listen to it, but real life interrupted me, and I had to leave early on. I had liked what I heard, but I was a tad confused. Was this really an extreme horror story? I thought we were going to get a bedtime story from a father to his daughter, and I was like, “No way this dude is about to tell his daughter a graphic horror tale, right?”
Yes and no. It wasn’t until I had the chance to listen to it in full, that I really understood. It’s a fairytale, alright, and it is hardcore. The story is about a little girl who survives an extreme horror story, basically grows up cursed, and must finally face the curse within herself as a young adult.
When the story left the initial framing narrative of the bedtime story and veered into the quick snapshot stories about what people had done under the influence of the titular bug, it shocked me in just the right way. While listening to Dorsch (great narration, by the way; more on that later) depict these vignettes of violence, I was picturing graphic headlines from the news. “Domestic Violence Turns Deadly as Man Destroys Family.”
The story settles in when we are with Stella as an adult, and she has her own encounter with the bug. I am not sure if what I want to say next is a spoiler, so if you already like the sound of this, go give it a read or a listen.
Ok, so the premise of the hate bug, on its surface, is basically possession. The hate bug bites you to get inside you and makes you do terrible things. Pretty straightforward. The reason I don’t really consider that an all the way spoiler is because of the way it all plays out. Gokey personifies this experience in a way that is a lot of fun to read and has lot to offer creatively.
We essentially get a possession story from the possessed person’s point of view. Dorsch’s narration works really well here, and her use of voices heightens the immersion in the back-and-forth between Stella and the bug.
Once the blood starts flowing after a particularly spicy scene, it pretty much goes hard from there in terms of the drama of what plays out. I think the ending is ambiguous enough that the story could theoretically stand on its own, with the sinister implication that things might not be over, but I heard there is a sequel coming, and I am invested now. I want to know how this all goes.
I want to say that Gokey’s storytelling seems to imply that the mechanics of the hatebug are pretty straightforward. It bites you to get in. It literally leaves bite marks. But, being the overanalyzer that I am, I suspect there is more going on here. It might just be my headcanon, but I think the bug might be more than it appears. Not the god that it claims to be, but something rough and pervasive nonetheless. I think there is a lot already baked into the story to support my theory, but I am not going to tell you what it is. (Rubs hands diabolically)
Ok, I am only over my limit by a little. I kept it kind of brief. Ok, I nearly doubled my limit.
This is my first ever audiobook review, so I wanted to make sure to give Dorsch some props, because the instant the books started playing, the narration had this immediate “classic audiobook” vibe. Like there is tone in the way narrators speak, and even in the way audiobooks are mixed, especially the classics, that is very specific, and Dorsch nailed it. While the narration is professional, Dorsch also feels like that aunt that would have read you a good story and gotten into it, which worked perfectly for the concept that this was all a fairy tale.
Uhhhhhhh. Ok, bye.

Review of The Hatebug by J.M. Gokey
While The Hatebug is marketed as an extreme horror short story, I found it surprisingly lacking in the terror department. As someone who doesn’t normally read horror—and who even gets spooked by eerie podcasts at home alone—I expected this story to really get under my skin. However, it didn’t have the chilling impact I was hoping for. In fact, I read it in the waiting room at a doctor’s office, and it didn’t leave me feeling unnerved or unsettled at all.
The story does deliver some shocking, visceral gore, and Gokey certainly knows how to craft vivid, gruesome imagery. Those moments held my attention and added an interesting visual element. However, the story’s predictability dampened its impact, and I felt disappointed by the ending, which lacked a sense of lasting consequences or closure. The protagonist seemed almost detached from the horror around her, which made it difficult to feel any real dread or empathy for her situation.
In the end, The Hatebug left me wanting more. I wish it had leaned harder into building tension or conveyed a more haunting message that lingered after I put it down. While the story's gore is undeniably memorable, it needed a stronger atmosphere and emotional stakes to truly leave a mark.

This was a great horror short story. Set during Halloween, Stella the FMC, has hated the holiday since she was 3 when tragedy struck and took Stella’s parents from her life. That tragedy, the hatebug.. a silly children’s Halloween fable that is more real than people know.
The hatebug feeds off fear and once it bites you, will take control of your body and mind and send you into a psychotic killing spree.
Stella’s older now, not fully recovered from her trauma but getting along as well as you could expect when the hatebug strikes again except this time it’s targeted her and she’s thrown back into her childhood nightmare all over again.
Really enjoyed this quick read and loved the idea. Original and scary, definitely recommend this book!

The Hatebug is a children’s story about a dangerous “bug” that can cause havoc, insanity, and loss in just one bite. Stella is no stranger to that. Her dad told her tales as a kid, up until the Hatebug stole her parents from her too in a gruesome scene. But after years of thinking she’s escaped its clutches, Stella gets bit and is in for the whirlwind of death, loss of control, and more. Will she survive this time?
JM Gokey has done it again. I enjoyed the other books I’ve read, both the horror and the fantasy stories. This was a great one. Lots of intensity and gore, but also a very intriguing concept base with a story that stays in your mind long after you finish the pages. Couldn’t recommend this enough!

Stella lost her family, seemingly to an annihilator, but she knows what really happened. An entity she was told about as a child, called the hatebug, bit her father and caused the massacre she survived.
Now, grown and trying to move on, the hatebug decides it's time to bite her. Before she arrives home to her roommates large Halloween party. We watch as Stella realizes what has happened but is seemingly unable to stop it. At 31 pages this was a fun quick bite of halloween gore.
The concept could easily fill a full novel and I sincerely hope she writes a long prequel, or other stories about this creature in the future.

Extreme horror is accurate! If you’re looking for a quick and very gory horror short story and don’t mind feeling a little uncomfortable, this might be for you. I got some possession horror vibes, and this felt a bit like a slasher movie but in written form. There was a lot packed into 30 pages, but it makes for a one sitting read on an atmospherically spooky night. Thank you for the ARC!

I listened to this book on Audible, and Carietta Dorsch did such an amazing job that it felt like there was more than one narrator.
J.M. Gokey created a spooky story where we follow Stella, who went through some trauma as a child, and then, as an adult, the hatebug comes for her on Halloween.
This story was brought to life with Gokey's written words and Dorsch's talented voice.

nice quick read
I really enjoyed this short story. I’d love to have found out more about the deal her uncle made and would love to know if the bug/demon comes back. Really liked the writing style, it was to the point and I was gripped and intrigued by the whole thing. First book by this author and would defo read another.

FUN little Halloween short story. I loved that it is set on Halloween and released on Halloween 🖤
AHH that ending. I had to give it 4 because I would have loved this to be a tad longer with more detail. But I feel that is the case with most short stories!

What a dark and twisted short story! Graphic, and disturbing, yet beautifully depicted. The Hatebug will certainly make me think twice next Halloween when I pass by any insects. Gokey has created a story I will read every Halloween.

Wow!
That story was wild and I couldn't stop! That ending left me in shock!!! Its crazy how one person messing with something he shouldn't have because of greed caused pain for the rest of his family.

J.M. Gokey wrote another short horror story that gets under your skin. (Pun intended).
Stella witnessed a horrific scene at a very young age and the trauma remained with her. Later in life she experienced a similar situation.
If you like gore, pick up this book.

The Hate Bug
Horror

⭐️⭐️⭐️
I liked this book for the most part but there were a few things that just didn't work for me.
The plot was ok but I lost interest when the FMC found her roommates pen!s pump and used it to remove the demonic parasite buried in her neck 😂.
The ending felt rushed so it wasn't very satisfying.
