If you can’t tell, this post is about radical anti-establishmentarianism, and its damaging effects on modern society, including, but not limited to, South America and the West Indies.
Actually, that’s a lie. It’s a list of three amazing books. Books you have to read, even if you’re slowly bleeding out in a ditch, and have only moments to live.
Assuming that’s the case, I’ll stop my blithering and get on with the reviews.
1. Johnny Gruesome by Gregory Lamberson
This book is a masterpiece of horror fiction. It’s fast paced, well plotted, and contains a memorable cast of characters. Basically, it reads like an ‘80s slasher flick. If you want blood, drugs, booze, and a rock-and-roll, take-no-prisoners attitude, look no further.
2. Wormfood by Jeff Jacobson
Ever wake up screaming, thinking you’re being eaten alive by giant white worms? Well, you will after you take a gander at this beauty. Mr. Jacobson hit all the right buttons when he penned this tale about rednecks, black magic, and flesh-eating annelids.
3. The Pilo Family Circus by Will Elliott
By far, this is my favorite circus-themed horror novel. It’s packed to the gills with creepy clowns, sideshow performers, and violence. But it’s not just bloody. It’s weird and fantastic and wonderful. Mr. Elliott makes you care about the characters, even if you don’t understand them. Which takes some serious artistic chutzpah.
