A hunger lurks beneath a bed... An insatiable hunger in the guise of an old lady... Please look under your bed before you go to sleep... Or you may never wake up...
Oh man, this was sick! Jason has a real talent for writing vivid, grotesque monsters that take pleasure in tearing their enemies apart in pools of blood and gore. The imagery is absolutely revolting, but incredibly effective, it grossed me out while also making me feel genuinely scared. The nightmarish old woman, dressed in a polka dot dress and pearls, alongside her creepy, child-snatching janitor sidekick, makes for a creepy and unforgettable pair!
There are some cool death scenes in this story. My favorite involves a blob, or as it’s described, “a thick, veiny globule.” I won’t spoil anything, but if you love descriptive and gory moments, you’re going to enjoy this. You can tell the author is a true horror fan, especially with that Cannibal Holocaust reference involving Jonathon Meeker—such a great touch!
Thanks for the wild ride, Jason. It’s always a pleasure reading your work! Agnes Carlyle is a character I won’t forget anytime soon. I have a feeling she’s going to show up in my nightmares…
If you’re looking for a quick read under 100 pages that delivers vivid and unsettling horror imagery, this one is definitely worth checking out!
HOLY FKN MOLY...Ive been breathless probably for the last 2 hours, all whilst reading Under A Bleeding Bed, which is by far one of the best books Jase has ever written...but let me ask you this...
What is it about Jason’s work that keeps you crawling back for more? Is it the extremities he’s not afraid to cross or the boundaries he doesn’t bother to set.
Do you feel that his stories literally slap you hard in the face and yet dare you to keep reading? Or is it the fast pace that punches you in the gut and steals your breath?
If you said yes to all of the above, then you'll probably also agree that under a bleeding bed was nothing short of amazing.
Once again, Jase has conjured up another deliciously dark tale that grabs you by the ankles and drags you straight into your childhood nightmares.
We aren't just talking about horror. It’s the kind that makes you laugh nervously, pull your feet up, and double-check the shadows, oh, and to make matters worse, there's something crawling under your bed…And she’s hungry 😨
👵 Picture this, a sweet old lady… with an appetite for flesh.
🦷 Add in creaking floorboards, whispers in the dark, and a set of dentures that snap a little too eagerly 😬😬😬
💀 The result? Pure nightmare fuel. It's a short, sharp, and savagely entertaining story that proves time and time again why Jason's the KING OF CREEPY...(stories that is)
If you’ve ever feared what’s under your bed, then Jason has definitely reconfirmed your right to be scared.
🖤 Jase, my dearest friend, you just keep crossing that line, and I’ll keep following. Love always, your one true horror fan ♥️
Nothing like being worried that an old witch/hag is going to crawl out from under your bed and slurp your entrails out. No one is safe. And beware.. You could inherit an evil entity that is always hungry. Great job Jason!

➡️ ɪᴛ'ꜱ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ: A hag under the bed. A town haunted by her hunger. And a curse that doesn’t stop just because she died.
➡️ ꜱᴄᴀʀᴇ-ꜱᴄᴀʟᴇ: 💀💀💀💀💀 (Squelchy. Savage. 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙡𝙮, don’t read this before bed.)
Jason A. Jones is an auto-buy for me at this point. He just gets how to tell horror in the grown-up campfire way. This one? It felt like a bloodstained folktale—Bloody Mary meets 𝘍𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘵, with teeth.
We follow the hag’s story through generations, as her curse eats through a town like rot under the floorboards. It’s 𝙗𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙖𝙡. It’s fast. But it never skimps on world-building or dread. That twist about how she stays tied to this world? Chef’s kiss. I’ll be checking under my bed all Summerween, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙨.
Jason A. Jones books are always those kinds of journeys you just know will be rife with unexpected detours. This book, with its crazy demented cast of characters was no different, and it did not disappoint! Lots of blood, a weird sexual escapade in a covered truck bed, and the man who inherited the curse (or depraved blessing in his eyes??)! So, if any of this sounds intriguing and you'd like to see how it all fits together, pick it up stat!
Woah, this one was wild! This short, brutal, splattery novella is a bullet-train straight to hell...nasty, terrifying, sickening, and a whole ton of fun. I don't normally read gorey/splatterpunk style books (I don't have the stomach for it) but Jason A. Jones pulled this one off with gnarly style. All the trigger warnings here, seriously, all of them. Don't read before bed, or before eating, or before trying to function like a normal human being.
I can still hear the cracking and slurping - the images in my brain right now after reading this 😱😳 The title and cover alone tell you everything - Under a Bleeding Bed is dark, disturbing, and graphic…and of course I loved every second of it!
An old hag with an insatiable hunger, a curse you can’t outrun, a janitor obsessed with a teacher, and victims who never stood a chance🩸Don’t forget to check under your bed tonight 🫣
If Jason A. Jones writes it, I’m running to read it - really enjoyed this one! And if you’ve read The Angel of the Watchtower, there’s a fun little surprise in here for you.
