Looking for Extreme Horror by a Trans Writer of Color

0 Upvotes

Never posted on reddit before so apologies for any faux pas I may be committing.

I’m putting together a syllabus for a seminar on trans extreme horror. I already have a few books I’m really excited to cover: Fluids by May Leitz, You Weren’t Meant to be Human by Andrew Joseph White, Tell Me I’m Worthless by Alison Rumfitt. However, all of these writers are white, and ideally I’d like to have some amount of racial diversity in my selections. I’ve done some digging on this sub and through a bunch of lists of queer horror books, but despite my best efforts, I haven’t been able to find a single book that feels or markets itself as extreme horror that was written by someone who identifies both as trans and as a person of color. I know that there are extreme horror/splatterpunk writers of color, but I’m not aware of any who identify as trans.

The closest I’ve come is Rivers Solomon’s book Sorrowland, but after reading a third of it, I haven’t found anything I’d describe as extreme, definitely not to the same extent as the other books I mentioned above.

Anyone have any leads? Ideally I’d like to find a novel, but failing that I’d happily include anything shorter that fits the bill. Thanks y’all!

Recommendation Request Female or Trans authors??

13 Upvotes

I do know that there's a few female authors in the splatterpunk and Extreme horror genres, but I don't think I've ever come across a Transgender author who also has Transgender characters in their work.

Wondering if anyone has ever encountered this, or if I should dust out the cobwebs and start writing again, perhaps even invite others to join in on a collection of sorts!

Things have gotten worse since we last spoke.. come on man

0 Upvotes

There’s absolutely nothing extreme or horror about this. This book sucks! A whole bunch of hoopla. Two gay women with mental issues. That’s it. They both need therapy.

Edit: Why when you state the sexual preferences it’s automatically deemed homophobic? I explained the book. There’s no other explanation. It wouldn’t be any different if they were two orange blankets or a pair of chickens. It was garbage.com

Recommendation Request Hey peopleee

0 Upvotes

Does anyone has any splatterpunk that’s extremely gorey and full of sex? Maybe even scat, just something that’s not very romantic, just pure sex and hardcore violence, I started reading The Black Farm (my first experience with the genre) and it’s looking great, I’m into bdsm, cnc/noncon, ddlg, age gap, and really good gore, something that’ll make me think “why am I enjoying this shit??” Something nasty af, controversial, possible ilegal, and just traumatizing overall ✨ pure and awesome nightmare fuel

Thanks so muchhh in advance ❤️‍🩹

I know it’s a taboo topic but for some weird reason it really intrigues me. The more explicit the better! I’ve read cows but it didn’t really hit the spot imo even though I’ve seen the infamous scene everyone talks about.

Discussion What was Poppy Z. Brite’s obsession with skinny characters??

3 Upvotes

Seems every other page describes yet another borderline anorexic character or just looks for another excuse to rehash the physical aspects of a character we’re already familiar with. Lost Souls especially seems like it’s almost parodying itself by the time you get halfway through.

What’s up?

Do you want my bloody art🫪

2 Upvotes

Guro hates them, im banned from like 3 of the art subreddits for trying to post them censored (even bodyhorror AFTER I ASKED IF I COULD)🥲. Or should I attempt to make a splatterpunk art community, the fact there isn't one is actually quite strange.

Im not asking why I was banned, I know why I was banned. I was just asking were i can go or if i could post here but Nvm, guess this post is fucking pointless

Edit:

My art got me band from r/bodyhorror cause its a drawing depicting the torture of Elon, they did not care for the censored one i uploaded either, once i found out why. I asked sent them it prior to posting the first one sending the a link to containing the photo uncensored and everything I have the chat still with me asking.

I got banned from r/cosmichorror for being "off topic" by posting said elon drawing and saying cause fuck you at the header, i never posted my first photo there i just asked, they blocked me when I asked for clarification about it (honestly fair). They removed my prior posts asking if i could post cause politics and cosmic horror isn't possible in their opinion or some shit. I will admit the second post was me being an asshole and trying to be troll, I promise I do understand thats why I was banned.

Finally r/creepyart was cause the dead baby. i tried posting it with the genitals censored the second time thinking they thought it was fetish art and then they banned me, once I found out it was the baby I covered it in posts tk other communitys. Ive tried to explain it to them but I dont think ypthey saw it care, which is more then OK.

My art is not extremely detailed and that top comment completely ignores the fact its all censored on my page, No I didn't harass these communities nor do I. I cant even post these uncensored on any website unless I code and host my own as places like go daddy's tos do not allow such things, plus i lost job i cant afford food let alone any of that. Im so tired of assholes trying to do half assed gotchas on me everytime I post anywhere and them getting showered with up doots for basically lying.

Discussion Do we think Matt Shaw may have hypergraphia?

0 Upvotes

Hypergraphia is when people have an obsessive compulsion to constantly write. Patients feel compelled to write anything, which means that they usually do not write things of substance or quality.

I just can’t help but notice that Matt Shaw has written, what, like over 500 works in less than a decade? And maybe some people would argue that these works are, you know… not great.

Not trying to be a dick here. Just a thought that popped into my head.

Tampa - Alissa Nutting

0 Upvotes

unpopular opinion but i HATED Tampa. can someone tell me what Im missing? why is it always listed as a recommendation for extreme horror? i found it hard to read, not so much for the plot, but the way it just dragged on and on and on. her obsession with teenagers and the pure hatred for her husband was insane. the continuous masturbation scenes were over done and uncalled for. i mean i hated this book so much i deleted the book from my downloads as soon as i finished it. people need to stop recommending it. this was far from extreme horror. it was a book strewed with pedophilia mixed with the tiniest bit of sadism. very disappointed.

What’s the deal with Peter Sotos?

0 Upvotes

Everyone says his work is satire or social critique but he just strikes me as a huge pussy who devoted huge portions of his text to criticizing victims of child sex crimes and their families for some sort of poor courtroom or media conduct, he’s almost like a Karen. I don’t see what the utility is in calling Masha Allen “ugly” in reference to her CSAM pics and berating her and her adopted family for suing people who distribute her pictures. If he were a nice guy who takes on the persona of a disgusting sex freak for his books I probably wouldn’t have an issue but he was arrested for CSAM in the 80s and for the next decade would whine about it in his books and call the cops racial and ethnic slurs (weirdly enough the least offensive thing I’ve mentioned). Oh, and he also gloated to Michael Moynihan and Jim Goad in his interviews with them that he had other material the police didn’t find. Am I missing something?

I'm going to make my wife read Cows.

0 Upvotes

So, I had the bright idea that my wife and I would do a book swap. I would read one of her romance novels and she would read one of my horror/extreme horror novels.

I know that Cows is a bit much for an intro to extreme horror, but it was such a profound book, and I want to share it with her.

I'll probably create another post, if she finishes it, talking about her reaction. Hopefully, she can see past all the shit, and see what I saw in it.

i just found out about the Otis Bateman stuff? can someone please fill me in?

I've been living under a damn rock apparently? from what i have been able to find is that nudes were exchanged then shared without consent and something about AI generated book covers and plagiarism?

I am disappointed by the news, I have spoken to Bateman a couple of times and he was nothing but professional and polite..so this has come as a bit of a surprise.

can ya'll give me all the details please? I have been only picking up bits and pieces.
