Dead Clown Barbecue: Expansion Pack

by Jeff Strand

You've read DEAD CLOWN BARBECUE and now you want more, more, more! Well, sometimes in this dark, cruel world we actually get what we want, because here's DEAD CLOWN BARBECUE: EXPANSION PACK, another eight similarly deranged stories for your reading ecstasy.

"The Car." A pair of vampires get together for an evening of vicious fun.
"The Loneliest Jackalope." Bunnies with antlers! You can't go wrong with bunnies with antlers.
"Inside the Boxes." Whatever is in there can't be good...
"A Bit of Christmas Mayhem." Andrew Mayhem vs. a trio of axe-wielding Santa Clauses.
"Scrumptious Bone Bread." It's not just for giants anymore.
"A Flawed Fantasy." Sometimes, two girls at once isn't the best idea.
"Tin Cans." What will you hear when you put one to your ear?

This title was friggin cool. I had a blast reading it, and have a blast reading anything by Jeff Strand. I recommend this to fans of horror/comedy.

Jeff Strand kills me--over and over again. You'll want him to kill you too.

It's like if 'Dead Clown Barbecue' had more stories!

That's literally what this is. It's more stories that are like the full length 'Dead Clown Barbecue'. Three more words required.

Jeff Strand has a unique ability to balance horror with humor. This collection of stories is a great introduction to his work. He's kinda addictive.

Very week, his worst work I read so far. Highly disappointing since everything else I read from Jeff was really enjoyable.

[David Blaylock · Rating 2 out of 5]

Quick anthology of weird stories.

So I'd read the original Dead Clown Barbecue a while ago but decided I'd try out kindle unlimited on a whim and this was the first book I picked up for that. It was everything I've come to expect from Jeff Strand's stories with a lot of black humor and introspective villains and unfortunate situations including a variety of bizarre settings and set pieces. Also it had some of Strand's own accounts of real life situations that were pretty awesome and gave the same feeling as his fictional stories. I'd love to work on a movie with Mr. Strand, but I'll settle for reading what he writes as that's at least reasonable.

This expansion pack definitely goes with Dead Clown Barbecue. Strand's story "Gave Up The Ghost" is also an excellent part of the Creepers Horror Anthology movie, which I highly recommend if you get a chance to see it. None of the other stories (as well as the original DCB novel), save for Gave Up The Ghost, are for the squeamish, make no mistake! If you like Jeff Strand, or horror comedy, definitely pick this and the original book up!

Creepy/Fun addition to Dead Clown Barbecue - which is a Must Read for those who enjoy gallows humor.
Jeff Strand is a master of horror/comedy, one of my favorite authors.
