  BOYS WILL BE BOYS

  No reviews yet

  Death and sex. Mayhem and murder. Everything these nasty caricatures of the male experience crave. In these thirteen stories, terrible men chase dominance, cruelty, and ego only to discover that something far worse is waiting for them. A boy planning an act of violence at school is lured into the woods by an online stranger who knows exactly what he’s capable of. A child king indulges his darkest appetites among the common folk. A janitor uncovers the horrifying truth behind his company’s most profitable product. A petty thief steals candy from a baby and discovers the child is anything but helpless. Across prison cells, corporate nightmares, and twisted kingdoms, arrogance and brutality lead men down paths they cannot escape. Tales of revenge, bloodlust, and carnage. Tales where horrors lie at the hands of the most disgusting examples of the patriarchy. This ain’t no Tales From The Crypt, Foolish Mortal! This is a cacophony of splatter tales that sing from the top of their lungs, “MEN BEWARE.”

  PLAYING THE COMMONER

  THE PRELUDE TO A SPLATTER-FANTASY TRILOGY Jakob Tortsmane is a Dot—one of Marthernia’s unclaimed. He lives among the poorest of the poor in the heart of Scarlet City, deep within the Centerlands. Far above the city, in the highest tower of Scarletsbrey Castle, sits Garrash Sterneye, the evil little king who rules all of Marthernia. He takes pleasure in the suffering of his subjects and all those unfortunate enough to catch his attention. Jakob is one of them. But while the king toys with his newest victim, something far more dangerous is unfolding beneath the castle. Garrash’s private collection of weapons is fighting to break free from their dungeon. If they escape, they will spread across Marthernia, leaving slaughter and chaos in their wake. From the murderous North to the cannibalistic South, pieces are already moving. Marthernia is engulfed in battle, but the war they know is only the beginning. Jakob may be the only one who can stop it. When the king’s deadly game begins, the fate of an entire kingdom will rest in the hands of the boy everyone thought was worthless.

  HUNGER DOESN'T TAKE A SPRING BREAK! Two lifelong friends set out on a last hurrah across the backroads of the South. STONE AND MARKESE TAKE one final spring break packed with booze, bad decisions, and juvenile pranks. Their favorite gag is simple: hijack the bar’s jukebox and blast the most obnoxious, humiliating songs they can find, sometimes on repeat. Until they choose the wrong bar in the wrong town. What starts as a joke spirals into something far darker and far more personal. This trip won’t just cost them their pride. It may cost them their sanity and their lives.
