FEATURING A BRAND NEW NOVELLA BY EDWARD LEE.

Splatterpunk is a movement within horror fiction originating in the 1980s, distinguished by its graphic, often gory, depiction of violence, countercultural alignment and "hyperintensive horror with no limits." The term was coined in 1986 by David J. Schow at the Twelfth World Fantasy Convention in Providence, Rhode Island. Splatterpunk is regarded as a revolt against the "traditional, meekly suggestive horror story". Splatterpunk has been defined as a "literary genre characterised by graphically described scenes of an extremely gory nature."

These stories are a little bit of madness, brought to you by some of the best horror authors working in the industry, today, that wanted to show off their love for splatterpunk.

This book is dedicated to the late, great, Richard Laymon.

Not for the faint of heart

The stories in this collection are not for the faint of heart. Ridiculous and unrelenting at times, if Splatter is your genre KJK delivers

not for the faint of heart...

Kevin J Kennedy does it again with this great anthology of splatterpunk authors! you'll laugh, you'll cry... you'll probably projectile vomit.

the horror collection never fails!

narration is top-notch

Top notch splatterpunk from start to finish …

I really enjoyed all the stories in this collection. They were original and very dark. This isn’t my first collection from KJK publications but is now easily my favorite. Among the stories I enjoyed most were The Crew by Edward Lee, Walter With an Axe By Steve Stred and Sister Silence and Lady Strange By Gord Rollo.
I would recommend his to all fans of horror. However, if you are a more sensitive reader, tread carefully as there are potential triggers.

Great for Splatterpunk Fans

The Horror Collection is a collection of 14 short stories by various authors -- most of them new to me. It showcases a range of voices including my favorite Kevin J. Kennedy. But there are several others featured that I will be sure to follow.

The stories are pretty graphic and might be too much for some readers. I personally love the blood and guts, which I think is what horror novels should embody. Some of the stories were mild for me, and others made me delightfully cringe at the gore and extreme graphic nature. And I loved the narrator of the stories. He was able to capture and project the various personalities in the various stories. A plus for this audiobook.

The Horror Collection: Splatterpunk Dreams is best suited for seasoned fans of splatterpunk or extreme horror who crave graphic gore. For fans of such authors as Clive Barker or Duncan Ralston, this book is a must read that showcases both established and emerging voices in horror. Four stars.

I received an audiobook from KJK Publishing. This review is my own and reflects my honest thoughts and opinions.

Very intense stories!

3.5🌟 I enjoyed some of these short stories, but not all of them. Several were too over the top for me and I didn’t really enjoy the actual story. I do enjoy horror and splatter punk, but a lot of the stories just didn’t mesh well with me. There were however several that I did enjoy though.
I listened to the audio and the narrator was good!!

Definitely know what you are getting into with these short stories!!
This collection is out now!
