I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review
I started this earlier this month - read 1.5 stories and felt no desire to pick it back up. the first two stories relied too much on sex and had essentially no plot. that is just not for me and I don’t feel the need to continue

I loved this collection, the balance between horror and erotica is excellent, and the writing is smooth and easy to read.
The stories are compelling and surprisingly fun for such dark subjects, some are a bit gross, and a bit bizarre, but that is why I loved them.
These authors remind me a bit of Poppy Z Brite, because I can never predict where the stories are going, I love that unpredictable feel I get from them.
I have read a few books by both of these authors now, and I’m at the point where anything they put out automatically go’s onto my to read list.
Thank you Joe Spagnola, S.C. Mendes and Blood Bound Books for the opportunity to read a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

What. A. Doozy! Nikki Noir and SC Mendes are brilliant minds! I’ve never read anything quite like these stories here in this little book. Petite mort is filled with 8 incredible short stories and novellas. They are gruesome, out of this world, and disgusting in all the right ways. I even found myself snickering at times. If you want quick reads and amazing story telling, pick this one up and take it for a spin!

Incredibly fun and chilling!
If you like Tales from the Crypt you will enjoy this anthology.
The stories were very strong and didn't leave loose ends. Many times I could not sleep because I HAD to finish the story. Truly if you like your horror sexy with humor, you will have a good time reading this.
This book could be triggering for some, so please check your trigger warnings, especially those relating to sexual violence.

What a weird and wild ride! Full of debauchery, gore and…Santa? I really enjoyed this read, it’s erotic splatterpunk bizzaro, with a heavy emphasis on sex and death. The highlight stories from this collection are Santa’s Package, Horrorgasm and #deadsealchallenge, but all of the works had something nauseating and exhilarating to offer.
The collection has 6 shorter stories and 2 longer, it was broken up nicely so it would make for a quick one sitting read or split into before bed stories for the week… if you dare to have some pretty messed up dreams.
I know of S.C. Mendes, his novel The City being one of my favourite books ever, and I’m so happy to be introduced to the works of Nikki Noir, the two have blended disgustingly for this piece of work- which is perfect.
Thank you to Blood Bound Books and S.C. Mendes for the ARC of this awesome bloodbath, I am excited to read more from both authors!

Got this book for review on Netgally.
It was a great collection of stories and I enjoyed them all in one way or another. My favorite ones where the one aboy the cam girl and the other with santa. Very weird, disgusting but fun read and each story was diffrent and I didn't alphabet any I didn't like.

These stories were weird, gory, disgusting, and disturbing. I saw someone raving about this online and curiosity got the better of me. Now here we are. Some of these stories are ones that will stick with you, they're so bizzare. The Santa's Package story elicited laughter and horror. I told someone about that story and the look on their face was priceless.
Needless to say, this collection won't be for everyone. If you aren't into splatterpunk or you don't like your horror infused with erotic themes and dark humor, then this collection won't be for you. That's ok.
For those that enjoy their horror a bit over the top, then dive in for stories about:
A drug deal gone wrong, Santa's gift, a horror themed cam girl show, a possible zombie outbreak, a love potion gone wrong, kappas, and more.
My favorite stories were #deadsealchallenge, Magick Brew, and Cucumbers and Comforters.
This collection may be ideal for someone dipping their toes into the splatterpunk genre. It's not the most disturbing thing out there and there's humor woven into the stories too. Better yet, recommend this to someone and then get their reaction. It's bound to be interesting.
