Hi there! I'm RJ and I live in Dallas, Texas with my fiancé and nine pets. I began my writing journey in the second grade, when I won my first and only award. I started to write extreme horror as a teenager, which resulted in my parents putting me into therapy. From there, I continued to write over the years, eventually taking a hiatus to work as a paralegal for a decade. In my 30s, I published my first book and retired from the workforce to pursue my lifelong passion of becoming an author. I mainly specialize in extreme horror and splatterpunk, but I also dive into other subgenres of horror—with an exception to sentient smut, of course. Happy reading!

    Deserved. Totally Deserved.

    This is the third book in the trilogy, and at only 50 pages, it still carries the same grotesque impact as the others did. We pick up from the last book, at the mental asylum that Rebecca and Charlie are admitted to after the murders of their pedophilic abusers. This one takes on a slightly more adventurous turn, as the two dolls make a plan to get revenge on yet another pedophile within the asylum walls, and get their kids out of danger. The torture in this one is gross, especially if you can't handle genital mutilation - but it's honestly deserved. I was fuming when I found out what this new pedophile character had done in the past, and he genuinely deserves everything that Pip and Dolly did. I really do love this series, and I recommend it to everyone that enjoys splatterpunk or wants to get into the genre.

    No more cherry syrup for me :(

    Puppet is a splatterpunk revenge story of a doll that comes to life after witnessing a pedophilic teacher, Missing Teacher, assaulting yet another young boy. At only 80 pages, this one packs a PUNCH. I was literally having to remind myself to breathe, and I gagged at the first sentence. I love a revenge story, especially when the person is genuinely evil and disgusting, which Miss Teacher definitely is. I really can't say more about the book without spoiling it, but please check your trigger warnings if you're curious about it. This one is NOT for anyone who is squeamish, it's absolutely disgusting and the imagery you get from the descriptions of body horror will make you feel sick. In saying that, I'm one of those people/lil freaks that loves when a book an evoke such a reaction, hence why I keep reading splatterpunk. This is the second book in the Dollface series, and I will definitely be continuing it, and I want to check out R.J Powell's other stories.
