Snuggling the Grotesque

We apologize in advance for the fatal blow to your sanity, but Bram Stoker Award-winning author Jeff Strand is back with another short story collection!

Yes, the author of Gleefully Macabre Tales, Dead Clown Barbecue, Everything Has Teeth, Candy Coated Madness, and Freaky Briefs isn’t done with you yet. There will be serial killers. There will be cosmic horror. There will be extremely demented cooking competitions. There will be pink fizzy drinks. There will be Santa Claus, hangings in the Old West, body swaps, some light cannibalism, and monsters galore.

The twenty-six stories contained within these pages include fan favorites like “Torture Porn For Prudes” and “Rope and Limb,” along with the Splatterpunk Award-winning story “Next Best Baker.” There are strange, twisted tales like “Insufficiently Splattery,” “Devil-Powered Death Train of Doom,” and “Mouthy.” There’s even the depraved “Mac & Millie,” which you should definitely not read.

Prepare a cup of hot cocoa and put on your comfiest pajamas, because you’re about to be Snuggling the Grotesque.

Entertaining, worth buying

Fun short stories. Most are round 15 minutes long. Audio quality needs to be better. I'd still purchase again but not as enthusiasticly.
