SICK THINGS: EXTREME CREATURE HORROR -- a disturbing collection of extreme creature horror with 17 deviant and gore-soaked stories featuring demons, cannibals, mutants, golems, werewolves, and many more vile creatures, monsters, and beasts. STIFF THINGS: THE SPLATTERP0RN ANTHOLOGY-- ratchets up the er0ticism and visceral intensity with twisted hardcore stories that penetrate new depths of psychosexual horror. Not for the squeamish or prudish. Don't get any on you. EDITORIAL REVIEWS"This book is a definite for any extreme horror fan. Full of terror, sex, and gore, I don't recommend this for the faint of heart or for a light read at a beauty salon." --FANGORIA (on Vile Things)"But dismembered members aside, there are no cheap gross-outs here; even though the focus is clearly on the vile and unpalatable these don't feel like stories that were written with the sole purpose of being labeled 'extreme horror' or to merely revel in their graphic, gory descriptions. Simply put, VILE THINGS is every deviant horror fan's wet dream." --RUE MORGUE"VILE THINGS is one of the stronger horror anthologies I have come across in some time, its theme literally appears to be centered around creatures, topics, or situations that are so vile it would send a shiver down your spine. It includes stories from both established and newer horror authors, and some of the stories are more extreme than the usual fare."--MONSTER LIBRARIAN"Cover every orifice. Comet Press' new collection is making a beeline for the soft contents of your body--and it doesn't care one bit where it makes its grand entrance, orbital sockets or otherwise. Rest assured this violation will be painful, given the tight confinements of our fallible frames of flesh-but anything less than a full-on ass-rape would probably seem insufficient in the eyes of editrix Cheryl Mullenax.Mullenax has assembled a rogue's gallery of intelligent grotesqueries that will temper one's appetite hours after closing the book." --FANGORIA (on Sick Things)"I thoroughly enjoyed reading this Anthology. Like I said in the beginning, no story fell short for me. Everyone brought an er0tic taste that stimulated every sense of my being. I highly recommend this book who love some deranged er0tic horror." -- SPLATTER CAFE (on Stiff Things)

The Death Panel: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness

2020 was a reality horror show. And like most obnoxious entertainment reality shows, this one had its own idiosyncratic rules and penalties. Call it The Big Lockdown. We were forced to go to ground, to hide in our holes. Some went underground and never came back. Uncertainty ruled because the rules kept changing. Were we following the science or the mad scientists? Was the light at the end of the tunnel the fiery mouth of hell? We couldn't say for sure, so we ventured out for food, booze and sundries like scavengers in a slow-motion apocalypse, keeping our distance from fellow human beings because you never knew who might be carrying that heavy viral load. And everywhere we went, we went behind the mask. So, it became obvious: The theme of our offering of extreme horror tales from 2020 had to be Masquerade. Our masquerading storytellers nevertheless did what they do best. They went deep into the belly of the beast and sent up fictions reflective of these "trying" times. Their stories peel away the masks (or in some cases, the skin) to reveal the inner workings of darkest hearts and minds and deeper fears.

Year's Best Hardcore Horror Volume 6 - Year's Best Hardcore Horror, #6

"It was like I was riding on a stolen road, like somebody'd just shanghaied the road and plopped it down in some foreign land." Thus, "stolen roads" entered the esoteric lexicon of popular culture. William Kidd's travels on stolen roads begin when he's a boy on leave from a psychiatric hospital and survives a car accident that kills both his parents. Although hallucinations are nothing new to him, Kidd knows the otherworldly thing crouched on his dying father's chest at the scene of the accident is no hallucination. Nothing in his mental inventory of the planet's natural creatures jibes with this pebble-skinned thing nearly as big as a man, a terrifying beast with spiky shoulders and lizard-like snout, its long knobby limbs folded insect-fashion as if it might suddenly leap or fly away without warning. The beast claws the boy's face, giving him an indelible totem-mark scar he still wears as a young man when he goes on the road in search of the creatures he calls "trocs."Kidd soon meets the Fluckers, a married couple claiming to have happened upon a "lost road, " and they entice him to join them on an expedition to ride a suspect blacktop into what may be an alternate world. When Kidd's psych-hospital alumnus Rose Rivers the trippy earth-obsessed rock hound pops back into his life, she invites herself along on what she calls a trip to The Big Nowhere. Rounding out the team is Rita Younger: dive bar owner, former biker club member and acknowledged "badass babe."But The Big Nowhere is filled with otherworldly dangers. And the road home could be a dead end. Buckle up and hit the road for a thrilling ride into the dark fantastic. A literary collision of horror and fantasy on the road to a new kind of hell.

Stolen Roads

When an ancient bell begins to toll in an abandoned church, the town of Druid Hills descends into a night of unholy hell. To survive, the less crazed citizens must fight for their lives as they battle their own primitive urges to commit unspeakable acts. Before the night ends, some will discover that there are fates worse than death. EDITORIAL REVIEWS"The tension is built with the skill of a professional, and it is added to by the reader's knowledge that every character is expendable. Hellz Bellz is good fun. There is sex, violence and a hell of a story. This novel reminds me just a little of early-Stephen King mixed with everything Richard Laymon ever wrote. This one, you should read." --SFREADER. COM"Oh intellectual horror, how I've missed you!! After one too many mind-numbing books, Hellz Bellz is a treat to be both desired and consumed." --HORROR-WEB

Hellz Bellz

Dark forces are afoot in Vinewood, Georgia, a deceptively sleepy town where the dead don't stay dead and a sinkhole is as sinister as it is deadly. Violent events both natural and supernatural build to a chaotic crescendo of horrors that will threaten the entire town and everyone in it. An odd handful of townsfolk put their lives on the line to save the town, but the darkness may swallow them up before they have a chance."Reading Bad Juju is like being bitten by scorpions again and again and again, then asking for more because it felt so damned good." --T. M. Wright, author of Bone Soup"This is a brilliant book, and ranks right up there with James A Moore's Serenity Falls as my favourite town under siege by evil novels of all time." --Ginger Nuts of Horror"A high octane read . scary as hell." --Walt Hicks, author of The Deathgrip Collection"Outstanding! Randy Chandler is horror's best kept secret! Buy it immediately, and discover the genre as it should be." --Kelly Tomblin, Horror-Web"I climbed into that sucker and couldn't get out. It was a real Venus Flytrap of a novel, absolutely compelling. I'd recommend Bad Juju without a single reservation [to] folks who dig old-time horror." --Steve Vernon, author of Devil Tree"A full-bore, take-no-prisoners, one-man mission to once and forever completely upend & recontextualize the hallowed traditions of the Southern Gothic." --t. Winter-Damon, co-author of Duet for the Devil

Bad Juju
