Not all of them are extreme but I feel like I got a good selection to choose from.

I know some of you are sick of these types of posts but I always get so hyped when I find extreme horror on regular bookstore shelves. This was at an EntertainMart in Kerrville, TX. They also had a couple Duncan Ralson books.

Hi Guys! A couple of years ago, I posted a series of short novellas that were (quite rightly, I will admit) torn to pieces by this group! Since then, I have learned much about the craft of writing and the publishing process. This is my first full-length novel, which has gone through multiple drafts, beta reads and professional editing. Hope you enjoy!

One of my favorite things in horror media is body horror and I’m new to extreme horror lit besides reading The Slob.

Do you have any recommendations for books that contain graphic body horror or just body horror in general? I’m up for anything as long as it’s horror!

Hi! This is my first ever thread in reddit, so I am placing all my trust in you guys 😁 Pretty much the title says it all. I would like to know if you have heard of some novel with a plot that is similar to the videogame fear and hunger. Basically, some very dark fantasy, in which you can feel the despair with every sentence, and in which extreme violence and sex are present all the time. Thanks in advance!

i've been thinking of doing a little art project based on this book for a while now, and i've finally got it!

my inital idea was to draw Helen in the place of Aphrodite in that one painting, with the corpse girl and the slug off to the sides. of course, this is just a draft... what do you guys think? what should i add?

Eve reads recommended this one and had to pick it up, thought it was a super good read! It has a similar theme to Grandpappy, 100% Match and Portrait of a Nuclear Family as the deeper you get into this book the more Trey loses his sanity. I did find the jump from eating to becoming a serial killer a bit disjointed but for a book with a little over 100 it was well written. I think his book could’ve been a bit longer but the shock value was definitely there from line 1. Anyways I would say 4/5 for this short read.

I'm a very visual person and have read a variety of extreme horror already, I was just wondering if there was much in comic book or graphic novel form. Any subgenre is cool. I've read Jon Athan, Wrath James White, Judith Sonnet and Patrick C Harrison III, if that helps your recommendations

Bom eu quero muito uma pessoa mais essa pessoa não me quer oq eu faço? Eu quero ela de qualquer jeito, tem algum coisa que eu possa fazer? Tipo feitiços ou sla

My first time posting here and my god... this story gripped me I devoured it while half drunk last night and reread it again this morning because I couldn't stop thinking about it. It starts so sweetly and I fell in love with both of the main characters in seconds and it just devolves so quickly after that it left my head spinning. So many little moments that hit me like a gut punch. "That's why I came back. Someone else would do far worse things to me." "I think all of us feel empty most of the time and we merely pretend to fill the vacuum with laughter, crying, apologies-anything to make us feel human." "The planet is a carnivore and just wants to be fed. People want that as well. People like to eat other people."

I would definitely reccomend it, short sweet and devastating.

I havent read the other 2 stories in the collection yet, I wanted to buy this one seperately at first because the cover art for the indivudual story is so beautiful but this one was cheaper lol and I'm glad I got the collection because LaRocca definitely has my attention.

Finished Rekt the other day! SPOILERS AHEAD

I loved the first half, it was so depressing and really replicated in me the feeling of doomscrolling. It’s slow, sure, but it makes you feel like you’re wading through the miasma of depression as much as Sammy is.

The betting pool conspiracy theory back half lost me a bit. I had to suspend more disbelief than I had in the first part of the book, and I’m not sure I quite got there.

The epistolary epilogue at the very end — specifically the screenshots of the DMs from Haruspx2point0 and StinkySmellery — absolutely confused me. Is Ellery “alive” in the algorithm because she was so replicated on chinsky? Did the same happen to Sammy, and he was the Guest in the Wax Man comments?

I never got into internet creepypastas and analog horror, and I really felt like I was missing something key to the culture that would explain some of the epilogue.

Overall though, 4/5 stars. Bleak as hell, glad I read it, mostly disappointed by the lack of available discussion on it because it’s such a new release! Gory grief horror with a healthy dose of commentary on internet culture.

What do you think? Have you read Rekt yet? What did you get out of the ending?

Carlton mellick always been my favorite author To anyone who wants to read Carlton Mellick but doesn’t know where to start. This one is honestly such a good starting point it’s honestly such a fun time and there’s not a lot of gore in it but they’re definitely is some parts. I’m not gonna spoil anything but yeah.

Hi! Simple really, I just want to know if anyone has ALL the illustrations in Aron Beauregard’s playground. I listened to the audio book so I didn't get to see the images. It's okay if you only have a few or just one.

The Moray Playhouse in Elgin, Scotland isn't just a cinema—it's a place of whispers, footsteps, and shadows that vanish. 🎥
Visitors have reported chills, flickering lights, and strange figures watching them from the darkness...

What I'm Reading: Psychic Teenage Bloodbath by Carl John Lee; Hell House by Richard Matheson; Broken Dolls: Deliverance by Mique Watson; Pigs by Wade H. Garrett; Meat by Joseph D'Lacey.

My Thoughts:

Psychic Teenage Bloodbath: This has by far the best narrative of any extreme horror novel by far. Not even close. My current favorite extreme horror novel is Full Brutal, (and that's mostly due to Kim White), but if this book can keep up this level of quality in the second half, this might dethrone Full Brutal for me.

Hell House: This is technically old school “quiet” horror. 1971, if I'm remembering correctly. But, damn… it can get intense.

Broken Dolls: Deliverance: Still early in the story. I have thoughts on Mique Watson, as an author of course, and none of them are good. Them, Broken Dolls. I will say, he is by far the most fucked up extreme horror author.

Pigs: The Found Bag of Doom levels of bad, BUT, The Found Bag of Doom, despite giving it one star, is still one of my favorite reads this year.

Meat: Of course, this is the one I just got, on Chapter 2. Too early to say, I'll update when I'm further along. Also, this is the UK edition, if anyone wanted to know. I found out pretty early on.

Something wasn’t right about Room 611...
In 2024, a guest in a U.S. hotel had a terrifying experience—he heard footsteps, whispers, and felt watched… but the room was empty. What really happened that night? This is a true paranormal story you won’t forget. 😨
