OHH MY GOOODDDDDD THIS BOOK…NO FUCKING WAYYYY????? OH MY GOD IM ON THIS PART IF U KNOW U KNOW
I just read playground and absolutely loved it. It reminded me of another horror author I love, Scott Sigler. He doesn’t claim to be Splatterpunk, his stuff is more SciFi horror, but if you are looking for a fucked up campy book with comedic goofy writing then I HIGHLY reccomend. Maybe start with Infected by Scott Sigler, my personal favorite series of his!
Help bookworms, I need more books like Playground by Aron Beauregard
So I listened Aaron Beauregard’s book Playground a couple days ago, absolutely loved it. I decided to listen to The Slob by the same author and I’m really not as into it. In fact I kind of hate it.
What I want in a splatterpunk book is PLOT! I want comedy, drama, gore, and a HAPPY ending! Like yeah this book is just a woman goes into a house, gets assulted a lot, and leaves…great for telling me? I don’t care! I want stuff to happen!! That’s why I liked playground so much, not only was there the drama of the kids situation, but there was also the adults trying to “crack” Rock and make him admit that he essentially hates what he is doing. The part with Rock was actually much more interesting to me than the kids. I know what will happen with the kids, but with rock and the adults there’s more of an internal struggle than external. Although I will say during the “skateboarding” scene I audibly was SCREAMING!!
Again I want a book that will not only make me audibly gasp but make me invested in the characters. I love splatterpunk but I feel like so much of it is just rape and murder with nothing else, I want a STORY to read!! Not just some case file of what happened to someone.
Anyway:
Playground by Aron Baeregard I would give a 10/10
Slob by Aron Beauregard I didn’t actually finish becuase I didn’t like it, but I would give it a 3/10
Ps. also haha if anyone knows good splatterpunk books with a dash of humor maybe u could reccomend me some idk maybe if you want to
I wish there were fandoms for obscure fucked up horror books so people like me who can’t take anything seriously can joke about the dark plot
Anybody got any good splatterpunk book recs for me to listen to? I just finished the girl next door by Jack Ketchum and I need something to satiate my thirst for campy gore
Ok so books i need to read in no particular order:
Night Stolkers by Kristopher Triana
The Rot by Stephen Cooper
The man with the scarred neck by SanityHorror
Cows (which i already started reading)
The end of Alice (already started)
Wasp factory (again)
Full brutal (again)
Through the Eyes of Desperation (both the red AND black versions because two authors writing the same universe from different PoVs intrigues me)
Anybody read Kristopher triana’s new novel old lady? I’m waiting for it to be available on audible but I’m def gonna listen to it I love his writing
