I am almost at a loss for words on this one. It's been a while since I read a genuine splatterpunk story, so I was due, and this did not disappoint. Now I've been fortunate enough to see high grade stories of this particular persuasion, i.e. Simon McHardy's Mother Maggot, Kristopher Triana's Body Art and Toxic Love, and while this was entertaining, I didn't fully enjoy that I was more confused when I finished the story, as when I first started it. Now I know that these types of books are not meant to be deep thinkers or have hidden meanings, and are purely made to be gross and ridiculous, so it accomplished its goals there. But you don't really follow a specific main character throughout, as you hop around to a lot of different people, some of which are just there to be a tally in the body count. This was hard to manage. And the explanations of the meat photo phenomenon had various theories surrounding it, but you don't really know what is happening by the conclusion, which may have been the aim of the authors. The only things clear here are the gore, sexual content, and insane situations with really inane dialogue. But, again, isn't that the whole point of splatterpunk? So you will read this and be unsure of a lot of things, including your ability to hold down your last meal and what the point of the story really was. To sum it all up, I really just wanted more clarity on everything that happened, and better continuous storytelling with possibly just one main character.

This was the most delightful story, I'm not going to lie, I want a big juicy raw steak now. (I've come so far from last week when I said I wasn't eating cows ever again!) I was laughing at the dark humour, which it has a lot of.

It was a really fun book to read and very hard to put down.

Once I got going I couldn’t put this one down. Definitely not for everyone, but if you’re into comedies for sick fucks, this one’s for you!!!!

Meat Photo.

[Lucille Bransfield · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a ride to crazy town in a bus filled with insane people. Wow. Lots of gore to go around and violence galore. I guess the front cover art and name of book should have told me I was in for a ride.

Meat Photo is bizarro social criticism on sunshine acid while handcuffed to an Arby’s prep counter. Could not stop laughing at the Father Peters chapter: it’s brilliant. I’d use Meat Photo as an example of satire in my senior English class if I wouldn’t be immediately arrested and likely permanently added to a registered offenders list.

“Becky’s only thought was, ‘Oh my god: the accident is going to fuck up my face’ right before they plowed headfirst into the oncoming semi and the car exploded into a ball of fire.”

Says this Becky: “Meat photo.”

This is probably one of the weirdest books I’ve read/listened to but I’m a good way! The narrator was fantastic. I alternated between saying “WTF?” and hysterically laughing. A good book if you don’t mind gross!

2/5 🌟

3.5 Stars!

Not my fave CV Hunt book as it is pretty disjointed and chaotic ( but that's the idea), I'm assuming the chapters were traded off with the other author as both seem to be trying to gross the other out.

Spending time in Meat Photo is a sticky, stinky, bloody mess which is what you want from a Grindhouse Press book.

There are some unexpected celebrity cameos in the book and I do wish that the fun tone of that chapter was carried throughout the book.

Again, while not my favourite CV Hunt book I've read, her writing is still a great choice if you want a goopy, violent good time

What do we got?
A car full of meat.
Fuck yea!

This one is fun for the entire family. Sit back, relax, grab a bucket of Munch and get ready for a meat-tastic migration to the Dollar General.

Natures pocket lighter, photo exorcism gone wrong, Meat Coin crypto, the turducken of fisting and, of course, the incomparable Nicholas Cage’s hated face.

This one started out a little rocky…but then…it clicked and really gelled for me. 3.5 Stars! rounded up to 4 based on some truly great gross out and funny moments.

Prepare the sauce!

This book, I don’t even know what this is at this point. I… I don’t have words literally. I can say for sure that this book is not for everyone.

It is I think about an apocalypse. I was cringing like nobody’s business through out this book. But I couldn’t put this down, I had to see how it ended.
I usually finish novellas within a day, but I had to take some time with this one.

Quite a turn from my normal reads🫠

[Eva Nel Brettrager · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is hands down one of the strangest books I’ve EVER read, but similar to the draw to the meat photos, I just couldn’t put it down. I audibly reacted while reading this book. I had no grasp on what exactly was happened for the first 1/3 of the book, but I still couldn’t figure it out. Long live the penis of resolution.

Don't be the last kid on your block to get a MEAT PHOTO. Meat photos are the next big thing and if you don't get one fast, everyone's gonna know you're a big dumdum virgin.

DISCLOSURE: I am making meat photos with my mouth as we speak, which you can buy later.

Imagine John Waters allowed his cast of characters to be used in an underground crank fueled, meat hallucination bloodbath and it almost resembles this book.
One of the most fucked up things I ever read. I laughed, I gasped and I walked away confused by my new world. Highly recommended!

I forgot to mark this one read I finished it in Puerto Rico and uh. It was certainly a book! Fun at times but overall not a super compelling story. Which feels impossible to say when it's about photos of meat being connected to people's faces and taking control of them. But like. Idk man.

Utterly wrong, depraved, messed up stuff. It was freaking amazing. I laughed my ass off! If you're demented like me, give it a try.
