Have you read Bunny?! Bunny by Mona Awad Released June 11, 2019 Dark Fiction   |   Goodreads   |   Amazon   Source: R eceived for Review Consideration The Vegetarian meets Heathers in this darkly funny, seductively strange novel about a lonely graduate student drawn into a clique of rich girls who seem to move and speak as one "We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn't we?" Samantha Heather Mackey couldn't be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England's Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort--a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other "Bunny," and are often found entangled in a group hug so tight they become one. But everything changes when Samantha receives a...

Here's a 4 1/2 star read for my fellow weirdos! One for the Road by Wesley Southard Released June 15, 2019 Dark Fiction   |   Goodreads   |   Amazon   Source: Received for Review Consideration Only one more show and heavy metal guitarist Spencer Hesston can finally quit Rot in Hell.

But instead of waking up the next day in their Midwestern hometown, the band finds themselves dazed and confused in an abandoned settlement in the middle of the desert, with no idea of how they got there.

In this town anything is possible, except making it out in one piece… Deadite Press is proud to present a new novella from Wesley Southard, a work of surreal hor...

Facial by Jeff Strand, Bizarro Fiction, 86 pages Greg has just killed the man he hired to kill one of his wife’s many lovers. He’s now got a dead body in his office. Carlton, Greg’s brother, desperately needs a dead body. It’s kind of related to the lion corpse that he found in his basement. This is the normal part of the story. From Jeff Strand, the author of Benjamin’s Parasite, The Sinister Mr. Corpse, and Fangboy, comes a tale that’s weird even by his standards.  Facial. It’s not about what you’re thinking. Well, okay, part of it is... Jeff Strand dips his whole body in the bizarro sub-genre with this one. Facial has Strand’s snarky sense of humor out in full force but damn is it ever weird. Flesh-eating face in the floor kind of weird. If that’s your thing read on. Greg’s wife is cheating on him. Instead of confronting her, he hires a sarcastic hit man to off one of her lovers. Greg doesn't appreciate the hit man’s sarcasm, shoots him dead and saves...

Only thing is . . . Glinda, the mermaid queen who has the key to unlock the mystery isn’t letting go of it, unless . . . I'm giving it a 4 and this is why: Imagine this, if you will, you don’t feel so hot and step into the rest room to take care of business.

As these hounds are busy eating faces and humping legs (and other things) with their giant doggie parts, you are left stumbling about trying to figure out exactly what the hell happened. Fortunately you...
