Pre-Thanksgiving Stress Disorder
The McIntyre family makes an obscene amount of income every holiday season off the slaughter of thousands of turkeys. But, the amount of money isn’t the only thing obscene about their deceptive family farm. The conditions are inhumane. Their practices are unsanitary. And the methods they utilize in cultivating their annual poultry genocide are beyond cruel and unusual. Staunch vegan and proud standing member of PETA Rebecca has had enough. And this year she’s serving up a heaping dish of Old Testament justice that will give the McIntyre family a long overdue wake up call.

And the book is available for your reading pleasure!!

Ozzy was the one who originally came up with the saying -
I love animals, I think they taste fucking great!
And that is the moral dilemma, isn’t it? We were meant to eat meat, it is an essential part of our diet, but that doesn’t mean we have to hurt them before they die...
Okay, that last statement have upset some vegans and, while I am not trying to judge you, please don’t pick a fight...no, I don’t eat dogs, but do you have any idea how fucking expensive a registered Chow Chow is?!*
*I stole that joke because it is brilliant.
Call me hypocrite if you must – I am one of those people who read these really sick books about people doing awful things to other people, but it upsets me if they hurt a fictional animal. Also, I love to eat meat, but if I had to kill the animal myself, I wouldn’t be able to do it – found that out when I went fishing with someone and accidentally caught a fish. FYI – screaming at people to throw it back is not the correct way to act with fellow anglers. Apparently.
Which brings us to Thanksgiving...
Since I am not an American, I have never celebrated it. For the rest of the world, it is just the time of the year when those crazy Yanks go on a turkey murder spree. But we forgive you, simply because your murderous ways gave us masterpieces like THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and shit. It truly is the land of the free where people can scream at you for killing animals for food, yet they don’t want serial killers to be executed because...
In a recent study at the University of Yarn, they discovered that a protein depraved brain may become aggressive over time.
So, in PTSD by Rowland Bercy Jr., all you really need to know is that Rebecca is about to go Angry Birds on some turkey farming family’s ass.
I really liked this story – Bercy’s wicked imagination is making him a name to watch in the extreme/splatterpunk genre.

Thanksgiving is coming, and not too many people are majorly stressing about the fate of turkeys. But Rebecca is. She is an animal lover, and turkeys occupy a special place in her heart. Rebecca has had run-ins with the local turkey farming family, and this year her rage and zeal for vengeance against the violence done to these birds reach a crescendo. I have a feeling that Rebecca is not a people person. The plans that she has for this family of four are vicious and vindictive. While I found Rebecca to be a bit of an annoying nutjob, her treatment of the family that torture and neglect their turkeys get just what they deserve. This was a fun yet brutal novella that kept my rapt attention all the way through. Cow herders of Nebraska, beware!

Pre-Thanksgiving Stress Disorder by Rowland Bercy Jr.
I am in shock. PTSD was not what I thought it was going to be. A vegan and a family of turkey farmers clash in this non-heartwarming story of revenge. I listened to the audiobook and it was fucking unnerving. How Bercy does achieves this in every one of his novellas, is beyond me. Unabortion and Payback is a Witch are just as stress inducing (ha).
This book is savage! You may not look at your turkey the same way again, luckily for me, I’m making salmon wellington so I’m safe. If you are having turkey… you are not. Blood (both turkey and human), guts, and more abound in PTSD.
Bercy is an immediate buy for me. But audiobook is always first because I love everything he puts into them. GO BUY THIS NOW! Please and thank you. 5/5 Gobble Gobbles

Read
July 21, 2022Brutal but written in the spirit of pure fun, this packs a ton of entertainment value into its short length. I will never eat turkey again. Actually, I'll totally eat turkey again, but maybe, just maybe, I'll sense Rebecca gazing over my shoulder...

There’s always something to be thankful for!
And I am thankful I didn’t read this until a few days after Turkey day! Oh My Gourd.. what a ride this was and I am pretty sure this story will haunt me every Thanksgiving. From the fun filled balloons, the marinating, the plucking to the boiling. This brought back memories being on my Grandparent’s farm as a young child, which was over 40 years ago and I have never, and will never forget the smell of the birds being boiled 🤮. This may have turned me into a bit of a Rebecca, but never to that extreme!
There is always room for seconds right? But I am hoping the seconds will be beef next time… please!

Great read for the fall season. Rowland Bercy Jr has a great writing style. Great revenge novella with a twist. Rebecca teaches some scumbags a lesson they will never forget. I ordered Payback is a witch after reading this.

Rebecca goes full crazy on a turkey farming family. She's an animal lover and decides it's time to be heard. Her protests aren't working so she kicks it up a notch. The McIntyre's quickly find out what Rebecca is capable of. Remarkable story of revenge!

I didn't really know what this was one about going in but turned out to be exactly my sort of thing. Nut job characters and plenty of barbaric torture. Great fun.

Rowland Bercy Jr always writes a fun story. It had all the elements. 5 stars again

Carnivores Beware!
Pre-Thanksgiving Stress Disorder by Rowland Bercy Jr. is a gem of a short holiday themed read! In my humble opinion there really aren’t a whole lot of Thanksgiving themed horror stories. Let alone movies! Unless you want to watch Thankskilling. Which may be funny but sure looks pretty silly, but fun I’m sure. Anyways, I think Rowland did a fantastic job, and it was a fun vengeance filled read!
Rebecca is a hardcore vegan, and when her dreaded and most hated holiday roles around she starts to get antsy. She just can’t help the anxiety that begins to course through her veins. When she thinks of all of the poor turkeys that will be slaughtered for the sole purpose of humans filling their pie holes. Especially when the atrocities that the feathered friends undergo.
Rebecca decides she will not idly sit by this year! She begins Simple by picketing by a turkey grower and manufacturing plant run by a wealthy family. She is ridiculed, tormented, and teased. This doesn’t deter her from her goal to do something for the greater turkey good!
Rebecca continues her mission no matter what, and nothing is going to stand in her way! She has plans for a super special Thanksgiving for the family that they won’t soon forget! Will she accomplish her mission? Will victory be her’s? Or will it all be a pipe dream?
This is a vegetarian/vegan’s wet dream of a horror story! Heck, it even hits the mark for all horror fans. Rowland writes eloquently, as always, and it is easy to devour. I love Thanksgiving and turkey, so I felt a bit guilty as I read. However, I still must give this read 4.5 turkey tail feathers out of 5 defeathering machines. Although Thanksgiving has passed please join us on Facebook very soon for a live interview/Q&A with Rowland himself!

Not your typical Thanksgiving celebration.
Pre-Thanksgiving Stress Disorder is the “Death Wish” for the vegan set. Rowland Bercy Jr. has created a female version of Charles Bronson in this clever and blood drenched tale of revenge.
This is my first time reading one of his books but it won’t be my last. I really enjoyed this sick and twisted tale and look forward to reading more from him in the future.
Reader beware: You may never look at water balloons the same way again.

"Pre-Thanksgiving Stress Disorder" by Rowland Bercy Jr.
💥This story could be considered rather extreme for some. Please proceed with caution.💥
Rebecca hates Thanskgiving. Not for herself, but because of all the poor turkeys locked and held captive inside of the McIntyre farmstead. The conditions are far from humane, and besides if you wouldn't eat your dog, why would you eat a turkey? At least that's how Rebecca sees it. Vegan is the only way, and when her protest outside of the farmstead doesn't yield the results she wants, Rebecca is forced to go about liberating the turkeys another way. But first, she really needs to take those meds of hers she just keeps forgetting.
This was a really short and fun read for me. I was actually at a surgical outpatient center this morning for my son's bilateral tube surgery and I zoomed through this read as I waited. I'm a huge fan of Bercy's "Unbortion" so I was holding this read to pretty high standards and it definitely didn't disappoint. The ending of the story was also perfect and I found myself actually laughing out loud 😆 I give this a solid 4 🌟 and I hope everyone eating 🦃's this year will consider Rebecca and her unique vegan point of view 🤣

This book was a great combination of humour and brutal violence. The mentally unstable protagonist, Rebecca, would give Annie Wilkes a run for her money. And like Annie Wilkes, Rebecca and her exploits are a pleasure to read about. A perfect horror read for the Thanksgiving season.

I will never eat Turkey again!
Rowland Bercy Jr. did a fantastic job with this book! Rebecca was a psycho, but the best kind of psycho! I loved reading about her and would love a sequel with her in it!
This story is about a animal rights activist that has had enough of the mistreatment of Turkeys. She is taking matters into her own hands when she confronts the owners of a turkey farm in the most gnarly way possible!
The only drawback to this book is that it was too freaking short! I wanted more!
Loved this read and it deserves a lot of praise! Four glowing Turkeys! This is the perfect thanksgiving time read!

Rowland has a wonderful way of telling a story. Consider me a life long fan from now on. The story starts off with a good deed that turns sideways real fast. Protester vs. Turkey Farming Family that abuses its power over the turkeys. And like Rowland says … Payback is a Bitch! Very fun read, I highly recommend this short story.
December 11, 2021
I was given an audiobook reading of this in return for an honest review. This is a fun story. It is a great tale of revenge by a vegan member of PETA against a family of turkey growers. Now, I personally am an omnivore, but I couldn’t help but root for the self-proclaimed “savior of the turkeys.” There are some pretty cool kills here. I’m no spoiler guy, so you’ll have to read it yourself. But I’m pretty much guaranteeing it. Happy post-thanksgiving vibes to all…

Gobble Gobble!
I really enjoyed this twisted Thanksgiving tale. Karma has a way of getting revenge and sometimes it needs a helping hand like Rebecca.
I am left a little confused on who I disliked more, Rebecca or the McIntyre family.

The adventures of a brave soul, eager to save flocks of gobble-gobbles from humans and their horrible antics. Perhaps I will turn in my fangs and eat only salads from now on. A creative story, looking forward to the Moo-Moo novels next.

This story was a blast. Gruesome aspects lined with humor. Had me chuckling in a few spots. I really liked it

This one is sure to tickle you right in the gobbler. The McEntire family is making a huge profit from the deaths of thousands of innocent turkeys during the holiday season. Their practices are unsavory to say the least. Enter staunch PETA supporter and proud vegan, Rebecca. When Rebecca is off her meds and gets a hair across her ass, look the hell out. All bets are off in this fun, twisted little horror novella.
Rowland Bercy Jr. hit it out of the park with this one. Original, fun and filled with all the nastiness you come to expect with his releases.

This book was so good! We follow a woman who is vegan as she has altercations with a turkey processing plant owned by some very sketchy people. Chaos ensues.
This is a wild ride with extreme violence and gore. Not for the faint of heart, but completely compelling. This revenge tale will disgust and shock you in the best way. I hope we get a sequel someday.

I finished Pre-Thanksgiving Stress Disorder by Rowland Bercy Jr., with just hours to left in November. Got damn it, Rowland! I don’t care if I ever see another turkey…..or bipolar vegan. 🤢 nasty. But it hurt so good. The story was original, the writing was fantastic and Rowland is real, real cute. I would recommend it anytime of the year. 5 bloody 🫀🫀🫀🫀🫀
December 20, 2021
This was the perfect read for Thanksgiving get together with family!!!! Haha
It was interesting that in a time where the farming industry and the vegan activists are at odds with another, this was ridiculous enough on both sides to not be a political commentary on either! ❤️
Quite an enjoyable read! I would love a sequel!

What a great book! I found myself rooting for Rebecca every step of the way, and I love how it ended! A very engaging and fun book!

Goodness Gracious!!! So glad I read this AFTER consuming turkey for Thanksgiving!! Please note: I went for ham on Christmas!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yet another fun-filled adventure with the ALWAYS entertaining, Rowland Bercy Jr! I may be a little scarred for life, but it was worth it!

Bonus points for this being a story placed in my home state, Minnesota! There’s so many turkeys here, on my way to my own Thanksgiving today I had a flock of turkeys crossing the road. Maybe they were the flock released in this book!
Pre-Thanksgiving Stress Disorder is a short fun read, taking the idea of revenge horror and giving it a unique twist. Using the sort of eye for an eye justice found in the Old Testament, Rebecca dishes out pain to the McIntyres, a family of turkey farmers who slaughter thousands of the birds each year. The story wastes no time getting to the demise of the family, and the way each member suffers as they die is told in great detail. Seeing the carnage Rebecca was willing to inflict on the McIntyres over turkeys makes me really glad I chose chicken over turkey this year for Thanksgiving!

A splatter filled Thanksgiving themed revenge story of an unwell vegan out for blood. The audiobook version of this story was top notch and full of production value, I highly recommend it!

Dang! Rebecca done went vegan ham on their asses. I wholeheartedly believe she would have done this whether she was off her meds or not.
December 18, 2023
Rebecca vegan and long time PETA member the thought of turkeys being slaughtered brought tears streaming down her face and today she forgot to take her meds. She starts to protest outside a turkey farm and gets turkey shit thrown at her from the farms teenage boys. She decides these turkeys need liberation and the family need to pay. She drugs the family drags then chained behind a vehicle to the slaughterhouse. With the boys chained upside down she starts gently with a BB gun to the face before a baseball bat to the stomach, ribs, face unrelenting pummelling. The other boys hair is pulled by a puckering machine scalping the poor bugger alive. Don't worry mummy you will only have chemical burns ulcerating your eyes, throat, esophagus, projectile vomiting blood and undigested turkey. The father plunged into boiling water. Rebecca liberates the turkeys and now looks glowingly upon cows.
