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.

One of the best short story collections I’ve ever read. Super fucked up. Every story is really different and unique which made it really easy to read!

dark medium-paced
"Welcome to an exhibition of debauchery. A collection for those who enjoy their horror sexy, bizarre, and with plenty of dark humor."

Two stellar authors collaberating and producing a book that will surely delight all splatterpunk lovers!

You will be immersed in characters fulfilling their sexual desires, pushing their boundaries to the darkest limits of filth. 

Let yourselves be transported to a dream world where Santa fulfills sexual fantasies and delivers dark packages.

Mystery and Mayhem. Crime and otherworldly beings.

Sex, lies, and murder and  video nasties.

Glutonous exhibitions and the walking dead.

Love spells gone wrong. Flesh and body horror.

Revenge. 

A sweet friendship. River monsters and sex fiends. Deciept and death of epic proportions.

Bloody disgusting, gore-filled, satisfying entertainment!

I enjoyed each story and recommend taking the plunge into the minds of Nikki Noir and S.C Mendes, you won't be disappointed!
