Book Reviews of Splatterpunks: Extreme Horror
Book Review: a bit extreme, but entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought this book and devoured it in two days. I found it extremely entertaining and thought provoking. Some people have called splatterpunk unnecessarily disgusting, shocking just for the sake of being shocking, but I don't agree. Once you get past all the gore, the only shocking thing about most of these stories is the messages they are trying to convey. Incest, rape, murder - those things are shocking, and they happen every day. It seems to me that the authors in this book are simply trying to get readers to look at the horror that goes on every day and think about it, rather than just change the channel to something more aesthetically pleasing. Besides the seriousness of those issues, there are a few tales included in this book which should make you laugh out loud if you have any sense of humor at all.
I highly recommend both Splatterpunk I and II.
