I've been a passionate lover of all things horror. I strive to take my readers on an unforgettable journey, one that often places them well out of their comfort zone. I believe that horror should make readers uncomfortable, whether through a mounting sense of unease or full-blown exposure to gore and depravity. I do my best to pull readers into my stories so that they can almost personally experience the horrors. If I don’t make them cringe and wince, then I have failed. As outrageous as my books may be, they're not full of violence and gore for the sake of mere shock value. I do my best to create well-developed characters with thought-provoking and immersive storylines.
Vera
and Daniel are expecting their first child. To help supplement their income,
Vera decides she can sell vacuum cleaners door-to-door. She’s very good at it,
too. She plans to stop...after just one more house. Unfortunately, this
particular house belongs to The Slob and things are about to get very,
very ugly.
Beauregard
puts the “gross” in “engrossing!” This may be the most disturbing book that I
have ever read. What sets Beauregard apart from many other writers of extreme
horror is his immense talent for creating well-developed, relatable characters
within an actual horror story. I grew to care for Vera and Daniel. When you
sympathize with and connect so well with the characters, the horrors become
magnified and the tension grows palpable. This book is absolutely horrid—chock
full of the worst atrocities. Yet, you will find yourself loving it
nonetheless. It is truly unforgettable.
Sarah
Temple has ended her relationship with an abusive boyfriend and is now stuck in
a dingy apartment living next to some very peculiar people. When her ex is
unsuccessful in his attempt at reconciliation, he hooks up with her neighbor.
Several days later he emerges as a strange new man. Sarah decides to
investigate. And so the adventure begins.
Sometimes
extreme horror stories fall short because the authors just want to shock and
disgust readers. That’s fine for some, I suppose. But when an author can create
a truly good, horrific story and make it disturbing, to boot, It’s a truly
winning combination. Harvey Click does just that in The Bad Box. This
story is creepy, suspenseful, mysterious, full of action, gory, imaginative, and
masterfully written with rich, descriptive language and great imagery:
"A
stench of damp dirt and worms and fungus and rotting animals belched up from
the dark bowels."
You can
almost smell it, can’t you?
"Where
Baby walked, a trail of hallucinations followed in his wake, as if he warped
the texture of reality around him."
Baby
is not one to be trifled with! My suggestion? Buy this incredible book and
immerse yourself in the ultimate horror experience.
Sarah Temple hopes to find a bit of peace and quiet when she leaves her abusive boyfriend, but instead she finds a world of horror. It’s bad enough that a sadistic serial killer and another maniac are both trying to murder her, but what’s worse is the mysterious Solitary One who controls both of them, a malevolent entity that the serial killer describes as a living darkness, a man and yet not a man, something that’s alive and yet not alive, something that wants to appall the world. Trying to flee from the two killers, Sarah finds herself running deeper…
Some
might say that this is a really crappy story. I will agree only to the extent
that this book does, in fact, center on feces. Sara Todd is pregnant and she’s
not craving pickles and ice cream!
This
book is brilliantly written. McCluskey presents a most vile and disgusting
story—one that is ripe with imagery and depravity. There’s not much that shocks
and disturbs me, to be honest, but this book had me muttering, “No, oh no, no,
no” in anticipation of the nasty deeds. Each one seemed progressively worse. It
will likely turn your stomach and surely disgust you!
Sarah Todd doesn’t believe in cravings. She’s pregnant and determined to live the next seven months giving the baby all they nutrients it needs to grow into a healthy baby boy, or girl. The baby, however, has other plans. How far is she willing to go to succumb to her… CRAVINGS?From the dark mind of D E McCluskey, author of CRACK and The Twelve, comes this disturbing novelette. The baby must have what the baby needs…
Who
wouldn’t want to be granted wishes? Then again, it’s best to heed the old
idiom, “Be careful what you wish for.”
Pam
Wilkins lives a miserable life. When she encounters a Djinn who promises her
happiness, beauty, wealth, and anything she can hope for, she is desperate
enough to give in to temptation. The Djinn does, in fact, grant her wishes, but
they come at a hefty cost.
Calling
this book sick and twisted would be an understatement. West exceeds the
boundaries of human decency. The scenes are downright vile and will surely make
you gag. The story is engrossing, wildly imaginative, and has a great twist at
the end.
Pam Wilkins hates her life. She doesn't have much going for her. Her boyfriend beats her, she looks like the back end of a bus and she's skint. To top it all off, she cleans up other people's sh*t for a living. While she's at work scrubbing a toilet, a Djinn appears in a puff of smoke and grants her six wishes. All she has to do to make her dreams come true, is commit the most heinous, atrocious acts imaginable. Six wishes for six atrocities. It's a no-brainer. Pam will do ANYTHING to get what she wants. But she…
Suzey
suffered physical and psychological abuse at the hands of her deplorable
grandmother, who used the Stork fairytale to convince her that she was a
worthless, evil creature without a soul. Years later, Suzey is still battling
the stork, convinced that it is responsible for her inability to have a baby.
McKenzie
is another great author who can weave elements of gore and depravity into an
engrossing story full of great, well-developed characters. This one was
especially superb and will keep you on the edge of your seat as you witness
Suzey’s downward spiral.
It's said that storks bring the souls of children to good, loving parents. Suzey was sent to live with her grandma after her mother, a prostitute, was murdered. Grandma tells Suzey that storks would never bring a child's soul to a whore, and convinces Suzey that she is soulless and evil. Now Suzey is grown, is married to a nice and successful man. She wants to have a normal life, wants a family of her own, but every attempt to become pregnant has ended in miscarriage. Was Grandma right? Is Suzey unable to bear children because the stork refuses to…
Because
bad things happen....When
Sophie and Amber leave their college campus and travel across the state in
pursuit of love, they find lust instead. Or rather, the lustful, sadistic man
they know only as Ben. Abducted
and held within Ben's dirty garage, things rapidly turn grim for Sophie and
Amber who are repeatedly tortured, raped, and abused in horrific
ways--physically, mentally, and emotionally. With an unquenchable thirst for
savagery, Ben's brutality increases with each passing day, leaving the poor
young women entirely at his mercy. Unfortunately for them, his ability to be
merciful is about as limited as his supply of morals.
Will
Sophie and Amber find a way to escape? Will they survive the depravity? Or will
their lives end there in Ben's deplorable man cave?
Constance is a wild, stubborn young girl growing up poor in a small industrial town in the late 1800's. Beneath her thread-worn exterior beats the heart of a dreamer and a wordsmith. But at age twelve, she’s orphaned. Running away to join the circus—like kids do in adventure books—seems like such a brilliant idea…or is it?
"Flight to Brassbright appeals to my inner child's desire for adventure and independence as well as my (mostly) grown-up desire for really well-written stories that capture my imagination and hold my attention." - Tricia, Amazon Reviewer
"...well plotted with a likable protagonist...upbeat with…
