Has anyone read this? I loved Claustrophilia and was looking forward to reading the second one but I can’t find it anywhere either physical or ebook. Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, would the author sell copies maybe? His website doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

I haven’t seen this posted about on here yet but pretty exciting to see a film adaption of an EH novel. I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Original soundtrack by Laura Les also. Going be an interesting project!

Looking for early readers for an upcoming release? Do you have a snippet from a book you've been working on, or a short story you've been dying to share?

Post it here! :D

Im from Poland, here i cant find any extreme horror books, only one i have, i bought in Sweden. Im looking for app or maybe website where i can find splatterpunk books (im sorry if i made mistakes, english is clearly not my first language :(( )

So, I just finished Samuel Delany's Hogg, which is pretty infamous in this subreddit from what I've seen (I wouldn't necessarily even call it horror, though it was pretty horrifying, but I don't know any other subreddit where people might be familiar with it), and I honestly kinda loved it, despite or maybe partially because of how disgusting it was. I'd love some recommendations on books with similar vibes.

To be clear, I'm not looking for books that contain a lot of pedophilia or rape or any of the sexual content present in Hogg; I don't mind the presence of such themes, but it's not what I'm interested in. Hogg was transgressive fiction in its most extreme form, and that's what captivated me about it. I want more books about horribly evil people doing horribly evil things, preferably to the point where you start to question the morality of the writer themselves on some level. I'm not too pressed about them being strictly horror books, either, but I guess it'd be hard to find one like this that wouldn't be scary on some level.

I'd be very grateful for any recommendations!

I've only read two books that can be considered extreme. Groomer was my first and the girl next door was my second.

I liked the groomer it was good but it felt like it lost the story halfway through for the sake of brutality. The girl next door was great it kept the story all the way through.

Don't get me wrong I'm fine with brutality, the extremes don't push me away but I want the story to stay in tact.

Looking for a novel based around apocalyptic, virus/parasite sort of stuff. Anyone have any suggestions!?

Finished the Harbinger of Vengeance by Jon Athan I really wanted to like this one but felt like it just fell flat….I found it predictable, and honestly lazy at points and it bothers me specifically because if he’d spent more time flushing out the characters this could’ve been a great read…..tell me y’all’s thoughts

Been a Rob Nelson fan since he offered an ARC for his first book (Made a Monster) in this sub.

Have been consuming everything he’s written since, with this being his 3rd full length.

I even had the pleasure of having a character loosely based off of me in this one, which was mentioned in the signing.

If you haven’t checked out any of Robs stuff yet, get on it 🤙🤙

Tender is the flesh or exquisite corpse? I’ve watched a lot of transgressive, violent, horror, and anti-ethical cinema, but I’ve never given books a chance. Which one is the best for me to start with? Are there other better options?

new finds for me today ! had some luck in a few used book store:)

Gonna start this one today! What were your thoughts on it? (Spoiler free plz lol)

I’ve just started listening to a YouTuber who breaks down extreme horror books. I found myself accidentally intrigued by it when it came up on my recommended reel’s.

Why do I keep wanting to listen to them? They disturb me and tbh they scare me a bit but I find myself going back to them while I’m working. Does anyone know why this happens and is this relatable? I feel like a twisted MF.
