I recently finished this book, and it was one that completely captivated me. When I wasnt reading it, I was thinking about the main character. She is so very decisive, and I still can't decide wheater I like her or not- she along with the other chara...
Sky Daddy: A Novel by Kate Folk, Hardcover
i have never read a book like this in my life. told from the perspective of a young girl growing up in a strange post-apocalyptic world, we see how she discovers new things and how disconnected from the older people she’s travelling with. like the ti...
I Who Have Never Known Men (Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition)
as a fan of extreme horror, sometimes it’s nice to have an easy read, that’s silly and full comedy, while still hitting all of the markers i love about horror. there’s comedy, gore, a touch of romance- i believe this is a novel for everyone. a pallet...
Welcome to Charlie's: Retail Hell by Ashley Watson
i adored this book ! one i wanted to read for ages, and when i finally got it, i read it within a weekend. i had no idea where this story was going, it was completely unpredictable at every turn. i don’t think i can say much more without giving the s...
This Thing Between Us: A Novel by Gus Moreno, Paperback
splatterpunk
this is one of my favourite books. it's a refreshing take on transgender characters in horror media. it's strangely empowering, the descriptions are gut-churning and incredibly disturbing. this is a book i would purchase a physical copy of, as well a...
Transmuted by Eve Harms
this is a book that requires extreme cw’s. a young woman, roped up in an mlm scheme goes door-to-door, selling vaccum cleaners, and unfortunately knocks on the wrong door. the slob turned my stomach, made me set the book down, but brought me to back ...

i can’t have a splatterpunk recommendation list without including this iconic book. this is one that introduced many people to the genre, myself included. i couldn’t put it down, too anxious to find out what horrors would await the cast of characters...
Playground by Aron Beauregard, Paperback
extreme horror
this is a book i devoured in one sitting, and immediately jumped to the sequel. please check the cw's, as some extremely heavy themes are explored. this is a book that has stayed with me, and shows even that the 'good' characters aren't all that diff...

you’ve heard of texas chainsaw massacre, get ready for brother by ania ahlborn. this novel reads as a love letter to the 1974 film, the texas chainsaw massacre. the themes are consistent between both forms of media, but brother tackles these themes i...
Brother by Ania Ahlborn, Paperback
one of, if not, my FAVOURITE horror book. it follows a group of boy scouts, as they head to an island for a weekend camping trip. of course, it unfortunately doesn’t go exactly to plan for any of the boys. extreme body horror, some mentions of animal...
The Troop by Nick Cutter, Paperback
raunchy, sexy and bloody. arguably, what most people look for in a book. i haven’t seen a book include the main protagonists sexuality in a way that didn’t come off as a ‘im such a tiktok dark edgy bad boy’. this character is genuinely unnerving, and...
The Color of Blood by Mona Kabbani
emotional
a book about loss, family trauma and religious guilt. it follows the story of a family and how they each deal with their grief after a loss in the family, along with a new arrival. it can definitely be a hard read for some folk, so please check out s...<3
Captain Jesus: Snowden, Colette - Books
historical
what a strange, strange man. everyone knows the watergate scandal, everyone knows the iconic ‘peace’ signs, and the deeply impactful checkers speech. what i didn’t know, was just how odd richard nixon was in his life. his strained relationship with h...
