FACELESS FREDDY

by Brody Butcher

“Faceless Freddy. Faceless Freddy. Faceless Freddy. Faceless Fred.” Nope. Don’t do it. Say it four times and you’ll have a scalpel-fingered nightmare crawling through your mirror, ripping you apart.

Hey, victims, Brody Butcher here. Urban legends. Do you love ’em? Fear ’em? Freddy’s here to show you why some legends are better left alone. He’s not a story for sleepovers. He’s the kind of monster you don’t even let your imagination touch. Our hero didn’t summon him, but he’s neck-deep anyway. Guilty by association. It’s a thing.

Blood spills. Friends get slaughtered. And an asylum? Yeah, good luck with that. Freddy doesn’t care about walls or locks. He loves playing doctor.

What’s the reward for surviving? Mostly suffering. So buckle up, ghouls. You’re about to get cut.

I haven’t read many stories by this author — just this one and another short piece — but I already love his writing style. The way the story begins pulls you in immediately, everything flows effortlessly, and it’s incredibly easy to get hooked.

This one, in particular, felt fun, very gore, and surprisingly gripping. It’s honestly amazing how such a short story can captivate you so completely.

Absolutely recommended. It’ll take less than half hour to read, and it’s time very well spent. Completely worth it.

I love Faceless Freddy

This has got to be one of my favorite stories by Brody Butcher. It's so detailed and gory, lots of blood shed. I think Freddy is my new hero. If you haven't read this yet, what are you waiting on. It's so frigging good.

I will tell you, I won't be chanting in the Mirror anytime soon.

With a cross between Freddy Krueger and Bloody Mary, Brody Butcher has come up with a fantastic antagonist. Definitely a 5 star read. I love the way Brody writes character dialogue. My only complaint is it was too short! I want more!

Gory nightmare

This is my kind of horror book. I grew up watching Freddy, Jason, Leatherface, and said Bloody Mary 3 times in the mirror. This book is so fun and gory. Great read!

it's short, fast and bloody, and left me wanting more
