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.
