This bizarro / splatterpunk charity anthology was a varied and wild ride. I had a great time reading it. Nine completely different stories, pretty much guaruntees there will be a little something for everyone from the supernatural, to the truly bizarre, to the grossly deviant.
The Weekend Crew by Timohy King is a fast pace descent into violence with two podcast hosts whom you just might recognize taking center stage. You may never enjoy banter without second guessing yourself again.
Toxic Three Way by Archer Black was a bizarre trip into a deviant revenge plot featuring demonic lizard sexcapades. Strange and gruesome enough that if you don’t laugh or sit in stunned silence, jaw on the floor, do I even know you?
Lights Are Meant To Sparkle by Z. Martin is a tense, bizarre, early adulthood milestone story. Moving into your first place may have been scary and a bit weird, but I bet your neighbors weren’t this strange.
Oh No! I Got Exploded Baby All Over My Favorite Sweater! by Prhique is as always, amazing. A satirically scathing look at futuristic baby rearing that will have you questioning your sanity as you laugh through multiple baby deaths and THE NAMES. Read it for the names.
A Chaos Of Crabs by Matthew J Gleason is possibly the most off the wall bizarre story in here and it’s a fun ride. Follow one hooker as she modifies her baby for the fighting ring in the hopes of upgrading her borrowed chimpanzee body.
Summer of 1967 by DZ Hollow is a delectably brutal revenge / cannibalistic coming of age story that I just ate right up. Voted Best Exotic Pet Food 1967 by yours truly.
Skinwalk by Gus Decemberist is a villain’s point of view supernatural warning to us all to not assume that gentle lamb or pretty waif is the easy victim. They may be worn by the true monster. A fantastic debut that made me cringe for all the right reasons.
American Puppets by B. Muraca is a horrific and horrifyingly relevant story of just how far people will go, to make you fit their narrative. If you liked The Stepford Wives, this is the one for you.
Spunk Genie by Seamus Belial A genie, three wishes, each more severely misconstrued than the last and a pickle jar. If you want a story so grossly off the wall that you won’t know if it was the gagging or laughter that did you in, this is the one for you.
