100% Match
"What The One Minute Manager was to business, 100% Match is to relationships." -PC3 Books
Bart is thirty. He is bald. He is overweight. He wears glasses. He is a fry cook. He hates cats. And kids. Bart occasionally does very bad things. He is looking for his perfect match. He has done his research.
"Depraved, deranged, and blackly hilarious. PC3 does what he does best here, and doesn't hold back. I suspect 89.3% of you will love this story. The other 10.7% are humorless prudes." -Chris Miller, author of Dust and Dub-Town Blues
"Vile, repulsive, and smart, with a kick-in-the-ass ending. You know, all the stuff we've come to love about PC3" -Rayne Havok, author of Necrosis
"Get ready to squirm, cringe, and maybe even laugh! Patrick C. Harrison III's prose is as slick as it is sick, and 100% Match is one you won't want to miss. Especially if you're deranged and looking for love." -Judith Sonnet, author of No One Rides for Free
"If you like your fiction sick and twisted, this one will be a 100% match for you. PC3 gives us a glimpse into the mind of the truly depraved, and despite the nature of spending time in such a nasty headspace, the story is entertaining as hell. Just don’t read it on a full stomach." -Robert Essig, author of The Circus Oasis and Tweaker Creatures

This book both stimulated my mind AND triggered my gag reflex. Something a man has yet to ever do.

This book is disgusting. The author should stick a fork in a socket.

This was a lot of fun. Bart is a really quirky, loveable character. Sick, twisted, and disgusting, but still loveable. And we join him for a short 90-page ride through his young life, as he navigates women, love, self-discovery, an absurd amount of statistics that are terribly interesting, and the frequent, revolting habits that he engages in. For instance, drinking one's urine with a teabag in it may not sound gross to some of you hardcore-type peoples. However, when I read that, I went outside and spit on the ground. And that's one of the more tame things he does, too. He also works in a fast food joint, too. Not that I eat fast food, but the things that he does while working really solidified that I'd never do it again. Now, it's an interesting story, but I can't really place it in the horror genre. Or even thriller or any other standard genre. It kind of has it's own unique place somewhere. I apologize if I sound a little flustered, but this was just an oddly enjoyable experience. And that's why it pained me to give it a 3/5 stars. It had so much great material, but never built any of it up properly. This could have easily been double the length and would have held my interest throughout, and really been something special. But beyond that, this is was a good time, akin Shane McKenzie.

random acts of violence randomly written into your story with no context nor reason really hinder it from shining. this book had potential, but it was so fucking random at the end of every chapter that it felt like it was written by some depraved child with no knowledge of literary theory.

men should not be able to write horror. you can take the word “horror” out of the sentence and it can still apply.

*Updating my review bc I’ve been getting daily comments asking if I’ve read it!! I did, and it wasn’t one I really liked unfortunately. Like 2.5 ⭐️
Hmmmmmmmm
Idk if I’ll end up recommending this one or not. This is pretty widely toted as being gross and disturbing, and while it was pretty gross in the way bodily fluids were ingested (it wasn’t written in much detail tho), it was *so* ridiculous I just couldn’t take it seriously.
At times it was funny with all the random ass made up statistics, but it’s written in such a detached, matter of fact, “I did this and then this and then this”, way that I didn’t find it really immersive and nothing really clicked/hit home.
The only part that *kinda* disturbed me was all the animal death. Lotta cats and a few dogs, with one of the dog scenes being one that upset me. But that’s really it.
Read this if you like laundry lists of kinda gross things!! It was a quick read at least, and I did laugh a few times.

“I have trouble getting to sleep, so I stick my finger in my butt and count to fifty.”
Ooo-kay! Well, most people count sheep but I guess if that works, too...! 😂
Bartholomew Bartley is a fry cook at a fast food restaurant, searching for love—his perfect match. After performing a kind deed, he thinks he may have finally found the one person with whom he can share his life. Sara is perfect in every way. You might even say she’s too good to be true....
This book is a total trip! I spent half the time laughing and the other half contorting my face in disgust! It was a tad bit predictable by the end, but that didn’t stop me from thoroughly enjoying this little gem.
92% of people who read this book will enjoy it.
5% of those people are real sickos. (Shh...I’m one of them...!).
Seriously, this is a fun little story that can be read in one sitting. With or without your finger in your butt...! 😂
Sorry, apparently part of my brain didn’t fully develop and is still quite juvenile! I’m looking forward to reading more of the author’s work, especially Grandpappy, which promises to be “exceedingly depraved”—right up my alley!

Wow just wow lol like that book was so disgusting, twisted, sick& crazy. I loved it! Simple, short, entertaining and extremely gross. This was a good pick me up short horror novelette from PC3.
A demented, vile man is looking for his soul mate his 100% match. Throughout the story you follow his everyday life, some of his studied statistics on women & dating, and his disturbing mindset. The ending is just wow it took a turn so crazy I was left in shock I had to reread the ending because I just couldn’t believe it .
Deff a must read for horror fans (just a warning don’t eat while reading this book you might throw up!)

This book had major “You” vibes. But in this story the but this is a little bit more software and a lot more violent. The best part and main focus was on the internal dialogue of the main character, and this stuff work well.
There were a lot of interesting style choices that I really liked at the start of the story.
Stuff like never letting the main character have any actual lines of dialogue. It gave a distance to the MC that made things unselling at the start, but by the end it made harder to connect to the MC.
Same with the violent moments. At the start, they were shredding in mystery. Not much was said about them that is kind of happened here and there little burst the added questions about the final details. This would have been fine if it was expanded upon later on, but they weren’t. So, he left with the feeling about the best part of the story you were left out for the most part. There were lots of moments where I feel like the violent stuff could’ve been expanded but instead, we’re just glossed over.
This was a fun story that I’m glade I read, and it short of enough, they can be easily read in one sitting. But there are many things in this story that made me believe that it was not the best version that it could have been.

I’m sorry but this was very poorly written in my opinion. It appears the author was just trying to cram as many gross acts as he can think of into one book. It was tactless.

I don’t do this very often.
What I mean by that, is I very rarely give a one star as a review rating. However, there are always exceptions to the rule. This book is most definitely one of them.
OK – obviously I am not the target audience. I knew this book was going to be a little gross before I read it but, I mean, I had no idea the depths of depravity it would go to.
Yes, I know that a lot of it is tongue-in-cheek. I don’t care. It was absolutely vulgar, disgusting and I have no regrets about giving it a one . Realistically there just aren’t any other options.
The plot – what there is of it – is an evil and soulless serial killer doing unspeakable and vulgar things.
Trigger alert — animal cruelty, lots of it.
I don’t know if there’s anything disgusting and vulgar that this book does not touch on. How I made it to the end I do not know, but it was blissfully short and I suppose that was the only reason.
I really have virtually nothing else to say about this book. I know there is a market for splatter horror or whatever the heck this genre is. However, I am not part of that market, and I found all of it absolutely repelling. Book not recommended to anyone.

After a long shower, I pee into a coffee mug and put it in the
microwave for eighty-two seconds and put a sleepy time teabag into it. I
drink this while watching a documentary about the prevalence of
necrophilia in the concentration camps of World War II.
im never gna eat fast food ever again.
i thought i knew where this was headed but i was so so wrong 😭

July 16, 2024I have no idea how to even rate this book. It feels like one I shouldn't have read, yet I couldn't put it down.
We're given the dubious honor of experiencing Bart Bartley as he lives his scummy life, bombarding us with endless statistics: stats on what women prefer in a mate, on what they tolerate. He's a disturbing man on a quest for his perfect match... Bart works in fast food and does exactly what you wouldn't want someone in that position doing to your food.
When it comes to characters crafted to be despised, Patrick really excels here. You'll gag, you'll cry, and you'll probably swear off restaurants altogether. It's cringe-worthy and quite possibly the most outrageously wrong character I've encountered so far. Keep your cats away, keep your dogs away—just keep away from Bart in general.

everything that happens is just for pure shock value and doesn’t make much sense. there is no way this man could actually get away with all this stuff. very gross which is the point since it’s extreme horror. maybe the genre just isn’t for me but i was excited to try it out and kinda felt like this one was a let down and maybe i’ll just have to try another book to see.

Oh boy, another masterpiece from PC3. I just discovered his stuff recently and I adore it. I love all the weird, quirky things Bart says and does. Maybe love isn’t the right word. I find it… interesting. I like how a lot of it isn’t explained. We don’t exactly know all the backstory, or why he does these things, but it’s there and it’s weird and I love the speculation. Why is Bart so unusual? I don’t know, and quite frankly, I don’t care. He is among the strangest fictional characters I have ever encountered, and I live for those sorts of stories. This guy is a psychologist’s wet dream.
I like all these little statistics the author throws at us and I wonder if they are real. If they are then I applaud him for researching all these things. It shows a level of effort I wish I saw more often.
Somehow I found myself wanting Bart to find his match? It takes a talented person to write such a thing and then have the reader almost cheer for his goals to be accomplished despite him being a deviant. Beyond a deviant, actually.
My only complaint is that I wish it were longer! I so badly want more from these characters. Bart is so interesting and I wish we got a little more about his match and their development. If it were longer it would’ve been five stars.
I love the absolute chaos and uniqueness the author brings to all his stories and characters. I’m going to be reading more by him, and if his other stuff is as good as the ones I’ve read previously, he’s going to shoot straight to the top of my favorite authors.

I'm100% Match has been on my radar for a while and this is my first introduction to Patrick C. Harrison III's fiction. It's the tale of a bald man named Bart who is searching for the perfect partner. He is full of statistics related to dating and goes to great lengths to be the most attractive bachelor. It just so happens he's a psychopath and commits disturbing acts throughout the book.
I burned through the short book in one sitting and it definitely elevated my afternoon. It's fun, entertaining, and the prose is smooth. I can't wait to check out more work from this author and it's highly recommended for extreme horror fans even though it's on the lighter end of the subgenre's spectrum. Shockingly enough, I was disturbingly and pleasantly pleased with this book. 🤷🏾♀️

Genre: Contemporary dark extreme horror
Rating: 4 stars⭐️✨
Recommend: I don’t think I can say yes
Check trigger warnings !⚠️
Read via: kindle
Spoiler free synapse:
This is a short and fast paced read. This follows Bart he is 30 , he is bald, he wears glasses , he is a fry cook , he hates everything and everyone, he does bad things , loves statistics , and he is looking for his perfect match.
Spoiler free review:
This book was so twisted that I kind of loved it. Very unsettling very problematic narrator but everything came full circle at the end and honestly the ending was perfect and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. All of the statistics throughout the book added a nice touch. Go into this book with a bit of caution and an unserious mindset.

5 🤮 PC3 is back with another deceiving cover. This is the story of Bartholomew Bartley (Bart). He’s a single guy with a job , a house, a car and a large supply of mayonnaise …..all at his mothers expense. Only thing he’s lacking is his perfect match 👌🏻. After a few failed interactions/dates he finally is complete. Pc3 has managed to out do himself in this vile little story. I highly recommend to those who like to continuously say wtf 😳

A reminder to choose the bear
Pretty gross but by no means the most disgusting book I've read.
Felt a little sorry for the MC initially, but that was quickly nipped in the bud.
Did lead me to wondering how many men there are floating about who share similar personalities to him.
Really enjoyed this read and would recommend if you're interested in (but obviously not part of) incel culture and enjoy a wee bit of body horror.

I knew what I was in for by the time Bart explains his exercise routine: “To work my upper body, I sometimes throw punches—shadow boxing, I think it’s called. I also throw things when the opportunity arises; like if a cat walks into my yard, I’ll throw it into the street,” and that is, another twisted, disturbingly hilarious splatter tale from PC3. Harrison is a sly one: although the novelette is divided into chapters, he ends each one with a vile anecdote, making it impossible to put the book down. I read this in one sitting and loved the ending. One warning: you’ll never eat fast food again.
January 28, 2024
I like the statistic riddled, first person narrative. I like how Bart slips in some sadistic stuff in seemingly innocuous every day routine and you’re like what? So random.. it adds to the shock but overall, I felt the book what shocking for shock sake. I predicted the ending pretty much early on and it’s such a short book. Not much substance.
