Good For Her: A Splatterpunk Collection

by E. T.

The tables turn on two parents who force their kids to be influencers.

Cassie can’t get her new coworker out of her mind until after a surprise visitor comes knocking.

Bella attends a camp for the wealthy and discovers their life or death tradition.

Two girls dancing, two girls dancing, one man dying.

Rowan was betrayed by someone she trusts, so he must feel exactly what she felt.

A slice of life about a cannibalistic woman with delusions of grandeur.

This collection of short stories is soaked in raw emotions, a plethora of drugs, forced self-cannibalism, and more. Some women’s actions are fueled by revenge. Others kill just because. Either way, good for her.

This book contains disturbing themes and graphic descriptions of violence and torture. Reader discretion is advised.

"Realistic, extreme visceral, each story is just as engrossing as the last." - Ryan J. Powell, author of Dollface and Eight Cases of Jane

It was ok.

The stories all end quite abruptly, in some cases it worked, in some it just felt incomplete. Same goes for the dreamlike pacing for some of the stories it made sense and for others it felt haphazard.

There's a handful of pretty solid and creative torture scenes so if that's what you're after there's that.

Story one: don't forget to subscribe

I have a morbid fascination with family bloggers, the way the parents exploit their children and film every minute of their lives. I used to watch them when I was little, finding it questionable even then. This is the story of the Walsh's; the mother's greed, the father's passivity, and the eldestdaughter'ss revenge. Plus rollerskates 😛

Story two: limerance
3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Obsessive, horny, crazy girlies who are done putting up with men's shit, this one's for you

Story three: a deadly sin
5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
??? WHAT. I don't know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't that 😭 I really enjoyed the way it was told, disorienting but very immersive, so much so that I forgot I was reading. We didn't get any answers as to why people accepted what was happening, but it also fits the story. The ultra rich live in their own bubbles and often do strange, unfathomable or downright evil things, most of which we don't even know about, but don't feel the need to justify themselves. Very relevant. Thank god I've never been to a summer camp (EDIT: I JUST READ THE AUTHORS NOTE AND SAW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A NOVELLA BASED ON THIS STORY. NONE OF YOU UNDERSTAND HOW HAPPY I AM)

Story four: intruder
5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A nod to the themes in E.T.'s first book 'swallow me whole'. It's such a short story (☹️) so I won't spoil what it's about, but you'll be very uncomfortable when you learn what 'two girls dancing' actually means. Also the OCD rep is apparently very good, I asked my diagnosed friend to read the story and she signed off lol

Story five: cells
4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Normally I can't stand pregnancy stuff in books and was advised by the author to skip this one, but I'd been loving the collection so much that I decided to give it a go anyway. I'm very glad that I did. If a man ever put me in that position, I don't think my actions would be too far off from the main characters 😂 also love to see the female friendship pull through

Story six: a simple kind of woman
4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The first line caught me off guard, though it probably shouldn't have considering what the other stories were like 😭 Another story about pedophiles, but I don't think I'll ever get sick of seeing them dickless and begging for mercy. The main character is unhinged and I love her for it. She's a cannibalistic serial killer, but still loves her feline companion

Good For Her indeed. I will forever put my hand up to read a good feminine rage and revange story. The ladies deserve vengeance and this collection delivered on all those fronts.

Each story crafted with enough depth and gore to keep you wanting more.

I loved each story for different aspects but when it comes to characters i will have to say Priscilla and Tatiana were my favourites. The imagination and precision of their vengeance was immaculate.

A must read 100%!!

[Victoria · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW....just WOW! This collection was amazing on so many different levels. You get not only amazing story telling but gore, excitement and so much more. I was lucky enough to have the author let me read an ARC of this book and I'm so thankful I was able to!

This collection is quite short being roundly 130 pages with 6 different stories, about different women and definitely about different things each is going through. I loved each story for different reasons, but my favorites were A Deadly Sin, Limerence and A Simple Kind of Woman (I shouldn't have been eating while reading this one, so this is your warning, take that as you will). Now Splatterpunk is not something new to me but I will say E.T. has a great writing style that doesn't feel forced or overdone which can be the case with a lot of Splatterpunk.

I would definitely recommend this book to fans of authors like Mique Watson and Judith Sonnet! This collection is so close to being perfect for what Splatterpunk should be and I say close because, I was disappointed this book ended as quickly as it did...but I mean this in the best way possible. I truly cannot wait to see what E.T. puts out next because this is the kind of writing/story telling that I absolutely love!

[Zane · Rating 5 out of 5]

This collection doesn’t whisper. It bites.

Good for Her is a splatterpunk symphony of feminine fury sharp, unrelenting, and soaked in righteous blood. Every story feels like it was written with teeth bared. This isn’t rage for shock value. It’s rage born from dismissal, gaslighting, entitlement, control and it erupts in ways that are visceral, grotesque, and deeply cathartic.
E.T. takes the “good girl” narrative and rips it apart. These women are not here to be likable. They are here to survive. To retaliate. To reclaim. And sometimes? To absolutely annihilate.The body horror hits hard. The revenge arcs feel earned. The emotional undercurrent that simmering, culturally ingrained silencing of women makes the violence feel symbolic rather than gratuitous. It’s extreme, yes. It’s splatterpunk. But it’s also smart.
There’s something almost sacred about watching suppressed fury become monstrous. The transformation isn’t pretty and it’s not meant to be.
If you love:
• Feminine revenge horror
• Extreme splatterpunk with purpose
• Stories that make you uncomfortable in the best way
• Cathartic brutality
This collection delivers.
Rage never looked so beautiful.

Well excuse me! Why did it take me forever to come across this book? These short stories pack a punch. Don't Forget to Subscribe, damn that one was gut wrenching. It reminded me of all the true crime stories I've read but with revenge thrown in.

Limerence was the palate cleanser after DFTS. It was a good story but not my favorite.

A Deadly Sin was magnificent. That was my favorite one. Feels like something that actually goes on.

[Aja Young · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 star rating!!!!

I love love love this book. Definitely one of those"Girls Girl" books! It's absolutely FOR THE GIRLS.

As someone with OCD, there was one story that felt valid and not at all like it was glamorizing the illness. It wasn't some fun, quirky "tEeHeE i LiKe A cLeAn RoOm Im So WeIrD!! OMG theReS a SpEcK of DuSt on My PiCtUre FramE whIcH iSnT sTrAigHt tImE tO CrAsH oUt!!!" It felt honest. So I really appreciate that.

(This is where the .5 comes into play) The only tiniest drawback from these stories is it left me wanting MORE. I wanted to see what came of the MC's after their stories ended. I wanted to deep dive further into them after they hooked me to their (on paper) lives!!!

Very talented writer. Very well done book. I had a lot of fun reading it and genuinely found myself saying "Good for her!"

PS - we all need a Brianna ;)

Holy Shit!

Amazing work from one of the brightest new voices in extreme horror. The only story that didn’t click for me was the last one, but it’s bound to click for someone else. It’s perfectly crafted—like the whole thing. My favorite was the Summer Camp one that is getting a Novella spin-off, so, yay me! (Shout out London Tipton)

[J.M. Gokey · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderfully pieced together collection with a story for everyone

[ARTISAN · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fun collection of various short stories handpicked by the author. I especially liked Don't Forget To Subscribe and A Deadly Sin! I'll have to look out for some longer work from E.T., I'm a sucker for death games and blood fueled machinations. E.T. thrives narratively when delivering the worst dregs of humanity to the lowest they can go or the highest they can climb. I'll look forward to how deep and dark those holes can be.

[Leah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Visceral deliciously disturbing vengeance. Had me clutching my pearls and cringing all while squealing "YOU GO GIRL!!" In credible collection, not one story disappointed!

[Steph · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short and sweet collection of stories about women who get their lick back at the men who have wronged them (either personally or not). All of the protagonists have different circumstances and personalities, making each story fresh and exciting; you never knew where you were going to read next in the best way. My favorite story had to be the summer camp one (iykyk)!!

Thank you to E. T. for the ARC in exchange for a review (again)! I always have fun reading your work!

[Stephanie Vicente · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought this was wonderfully put together. I thought it was a great collection to read if you love Feminine revenge horror , Extreme splatter punk with purpose. It made rage look so beautiful. The body horror aspect was incredible. I found these stories to be both enjoyable and disturbing at the same time. This was a wonderful collection I had a great time reading this.

[Brittney’s Cozy Corner · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was the most female rage, weird girl, extreme horror, splatterpunk book I’ve ever read. On that note. I loved every minute of it. This amazing short story collection was the perfect amount of story to really end each one saying “hmmm… well good for her”. If you’re a lover of strong female characters, love a little gore, sex, and a decent helping of ick, then I highly recommend this one. I have read a small amount of splatterpunk, but out of everything I’ve read this is the first one that made me gag and cringe. Check your trigger warnings first and if you still want to read it, enjoy!

[Michael · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good For Her was an amazing anthology of revenge full of torture, dismemberment, and gore! E.T. did an amazing job creating these stories, making me want more from them after the end. I gotta say that “A Deadly Sin” and “Cells” were by far my favorite stories in the collection. As a huge animal lover, I also enjoyed that the author made a note for everyone that while there may be brutal, save, gory, and extreme torture scenes, no animals will be harmed. Can’t wait to see what E.T. Has coming next

[SJ · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you want extreme revenge horror that unsettles and empowers, this collection delivers. I really enjoyed this book! every story is unapologetic and unforgettable.
Splatterpunk at its most intense, it captures feminine fury in ways that linger long after the last page.

What a great collection! I didn’t love every single story, BUT I really enjoyed 4/6 of them which is wonderful! The collection was not only funny and gory, but also incredibly well written! I will DEFINITELY be reading more by this very talented author!

I haven’t read a story with this subject matter before, so it was new and I appreciated that! But I didn’t understand what contraption was being used/what was going on when the parents were being tortured with barbed wire, or when they were trying to get the sledge hammer, so I couldn’t visualize those important parts. I also didn’t understand how Priscilla was going to get away with this. This story left me feeling confused for the most part.

Limerence
5 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I adore Cassie! I definitely see myself in her, since I’m autistic and share some similar quirks. I loved that she has her own set of morals and rules she lives by, but still doesn’t think twice about killing that creep (who doesn’t even care about the environment)! I’d gladly read more stories about Cassie!

A Deadly Sin
2 Stars⭐️⭐️
This was a very confusing story for me personally. I think it’s probably because of the supernatural elements that aren’t very clearly explained. The rock, the treasure hunt, the bizarre dream, the sister’s car crash, the random lottery ticket, the camp itself…it all confused me greatly. But this is probably a me problem, honestly!

Intruder
5 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved the OCD representation in this, as someone who’s suffered from OCD since childhood. Gianna was relatable. Just like Cassie, but even more tragically. And just like with Cassie, I’d love to read more about Gianna as well!

Cells
4 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kyle suuuucks! I love that Brianna was there for her like that! Female friendships are wonderful!

A Simple Kind of Woman
5 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The opening line of this story made me laugh so hard! Sir Rogers was the star of the show for me! I loved how Tatiana treated him like the king he is! Tatiana watching Bob’s Burgers in the midst of all this is so funny to me for some reason. I also loved that she was vegan, because humans don’t count. Such a funny and fun story! What a great way to end the collection!

Good For Her is exactly what I expected it to be, and somehow even more fun than I anticipated. This is a short story collection built entirely around women taking matters into their own hands, whether that’s revenge, survival, or just pure unadulterated gory female rage. Every story brings something different, and they all deliver.

What I loved most is that each protagonist feels distinct. You never really know going in what kind of woman you're about to follow or what she's going to do, and that unpredictability kept me glued to every page. Some of these women are fueled by rage at men who hurt them. Others are just... Built like this. And honestly, good for her.

The content warnings are real so please check those before going in, but if you can stomach it, the payoff is there. E.T. doesn't hold back and she doesn't apologize for it, which is kind of the whole point. This collection is not afraid to make you uncomfortable, and I respected that so much.

As someone who has read a fair amount of splatterpunk, I can confidently say E.T. understands exactly what she’s doing. The gore has real intention behind it, which isn’t always a given in this genre, and that’s what made this collection stand out for me.

Loved every disturbing minute.

I hope you enjoy my snippets of horror!!

It’s important to me to change horror history and make the women identifying characters the complex badasses and not in a sexploitative way. I didn’t want to linger on their traumas too much regardless of what they went through, because unlike a lot of “revenge” books and movies written by men about women, they tend to exploit the initial crime but the revenge feels like an after thought. You shouldn’t have to read every details about someone’s trauma to feel empathy for them, it feels like rape porn to me. Some may say I write torture porn, and you know what, torture porn AGAINST predators? That doesn’t sound like a bad label to me.

[Checa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This collection is such a wild ride, and I had so much fun reading it! Whenever I thought I knew the direction the story was going, E.T. would take a left, a right, and then another left. Each story left me feeling a rollercoaster of emotions, vindictive satisfaction, disgust, and shock, to name a few. My favorite stories were “A Simple Kind of Woman” and “A Deadly Sin”, the later of which is getting a continuation novella. Highly recommend for readers who want to see women unapologetically reclaiming their power.

[Roberta Kime · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good for her is an anthology of short stories embodying feminine rage and vengeance! There are six short stories where the FMCs are abused or wronged, and they take vengeance to a whole new level! It’s gory, it’s creative and it’s unputdownable! It’s a book where you can read one story and have your mind blown then take a break and go back for more! I would recommend for you splatterpunk fans!

[BeeBooked · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this collection! Female rage is one of my favorite kind of story. had my favorites out of the stories, but overall I enjoyed each one to a degree. I can say some of the stories ended abruptly and left me wanting more! But that might be a good thing.

[lizzy125 · Rating 2 out of 5]

I personally had a hard time with it cause most of the stories had an element to them missing. They felt awkward, forced grotesque settings to give the women vigilantes power over the victims. Then the endings with no sense.

[Ashley Alexander · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this book and all the different stories!!

[Dan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received a copy from the author in exchange for a review. I just realized that I previously posted it as a rating without the review. Whoops!!!

Score: 3.5, rounded up

Right off the bat, I will say that author "ET" is already shaping up to be a unique voice in horror after debuting only last year. They (she?) display a lot of skill in incorporating modern social and gender issues into horror stories in a way that feels natural rather than awkward/shoehorned. I would call call it "woke horror" in a positive way if the W-word hadn't been run into the ground by now.

The author's debut novel Swallow Me Whole was decent but I felt it suffered from a lack of editing, not only in terms of grammar but length and overall continuity as well. This short story collection is a better showcase of their talents while minimizing the weak points. My favorite parts of most of these stories were the first half which laid out the character motivations and backgrounds, most of which were very engaging and relevant to our modern world. The term "feminine rage" is being tossed around a lot lately, but I think this story collection nails it better than anything I've read lately.

I will say some of the stories kinda lost me when they got to the violence and torture bits. Part of this is because I find torture porn to be pretty boring if it doesn't involve on-screen special effects, and part is due to the nature of this collection. As you might guess from the title, most of the stories are themed around women getting righteous revenge against abusive and/or perverted men. That's fine--great actually, we love to see it! The problem is that the stories lose tension when it starts to become obvious what's going to happen in the second half. I also was mildly put off by some of the revenge scenarios because they seemed unrealistically complicated and it took me out of the story a bit. My final complaint is there were a number of weird grammatical flubs, mainly the author's refusal to use the past perfect tense (i.e. "she had said" or "he had done") but my copy does say that it hasn't been proofread yet, so hopefully the final version is more polished!

One final note: I read the author's afterword and they made a passing comment saying "I didn't want to linger too much on the traumas prior to the revenge scenes." Personally, I found the writing about trauma to be much more interesting and meaningful than the revenge scenes! I hope in the future the author focuses more on characters and scales back the torture a bit, because they have a real talent for the former and the latter is most effective in smaller doses.

Overall, a solid collection with some flaws from a very promising new author. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!

[Nat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Let me start by saying I have nothing but praise for E.T. and their writing style. I’ve had the pleasure of receiving ARC copies for not one, but two of their books, and I can confidently say you won’t be disappointed.

Good For Her is a collection of six short stories, each taking around 30 minutes or less to read. Every story is steeped in splatterpunk, and if you’re reading this review, I’m guessing that’s exactly what you’re looking for. What sets E.T. apart, though, is that the gore is never gratuitous. Beneath the blood and brutality are well-developed backstories and meaningful themes, elevating the collection far beyond shock value alone.

I won’t dive too deeply into each individual story because this is one you truly need to experience for yourself. However, the themes touch on contemporary issues such as social media, women’s healthcare, and neurodivergence, all explored in ways that challenge perceptions and encourage you to rethink how the world frames these topics.

Overall, this is a strong 4.5/5 read and, as always, an absolute pleasure.

E.T.- you’ve knocked it out of the park yet again.

[Dylan James · Rating 3 out of 5]

The premises (primarily settings and setups) in Good For Her were diverse across each short story, and I really enjoyed the creativity laid out.

What I disliked: the men throughout this collection didn’t feel layered or complex in comparison with the women and girls. Often, male characters were used as mere devices in a “perp” versus “victim” narrative—with them being antagonists or weak and passive. Empowerment was certainly a motif (hence the title), but as a reader, the lack of gray area, depth, and believability to male characters got stale.

Favorite short stories: Don’t Forget To Subscribe and A Deadly Sin. There’s something in Good For Her for all to enjoy. Thanks to E.T. for the arc!

[Oscar Brady · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy shit y'all. This is the best collection I've read in a long time, maybe ever, and I read a LOT. Each of the six stories are strong enough to stand on their own and would do well. So if you're looking for a short, gritty read, look no further. Beyond fitting the "good for her" revenge theme, no two stories are alike and each explores a different variation of the theme without touching any of the overworn ground and tropes of EH/SP. You'll want the shelf trophy for this book.

[Jason Rowe · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an extremely enjoyable and disturbing collection of short stories, all based around women being the bad ass.

The second story has the most unique and depraved way of using someone I have ever read. Honestly, I didn’t know if I should enjoy the scene or be horrified that ET came up with that!

A great collection for ET’s second release!
