From the creator of Splatterpunk Zine comes Splatterpunk's Not Dead, an anthology consisting of 8 horror stories, ranging from new upcoming writers to genre favourites, featuring new fiction by Jeff Strand, Adam Cesare, Shane McKenzie, Nathan Robinson, Robert Essig, Brendan Vidito, Saul Bailey and Paul Shrimpton. Edited by Jack Bantry and including an introduction by Jeff Burk, head editor at Deadite Press. Praise for Splatterpunk Zine: "Splatterpunk is 100% the real deal, and if seedy-but-brilliantly-written hardcore horror is your pleasure, guilty or otherwise, I'd say this zine is essential reading." - Kit Power, Ginger Nuts of Horror "These are great days for horror fiction and Splatterpunk is a great return to bloody roots." - John Boden, Shock Totem "It's a zine in the 80s sense of the word... It makes me nostalgic" - Wrath James White "This is an old school handmade hardcore horror fiction zine... I liked it a lot." - Mark Sieber, Horror Drive-In "Bantry is providing a great time for fans of horror fiction. If you haven't jumped on this viscera-covered bandwagon, what are you waiting for?" - Sean Leonard, HorrorNews.net "Splatterpunk Zine has thrown down the gauntlet to any and all challengers, and assumed its place at the head of the pack. This is exactly how underground horror fiction should be, unfettered, uncompromising and deliciously nasty. Horror has a new voice." - Mass Movement "Sometimes you stumble across something and you want to tell the world about it. It happens I've found something I'd like to share, something joyous, yet unsettling, amateur, yet smart. I'm talking about Splatterpunk Zine." - Snakebite Horror

"Not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach, the 19 stories in this new best-of annual anthology feature episodes of graphic gore and violence—including torture, dismemberment, self-mutilation, and home abortion—that are designed to push buttons as well as boundaries...strictly for hardcore horror fans."—Publishers Weekly Excerpt from the Introduction: Editors Randy Chandler and Cheryl Mullenax put the call out to horror writers and editors of extreme stories, the hardcore stuff that breaks boundaries and trashes taboos, the transgressive tales you can't "unread" (as Chuck Palahniuk says). We staked out our territory and nailed this to the wall to guide us: YEAR'S BEST HARDEST HORROR Not your mama's best-of horror annual. This stuff comes from the edge of the abyss, stories you read at your own risk because you feel the abyss looking right back into you through the tainted lens of each twisted tale. Some of the stories you'll find here are loaded with very graphic descriptions of violence, sex and depravities, while others may contain only one shocking moment of brutality. In others, the hardcore aspect may be less graphic and subtler than you might expect. Some of these quieter tales offer the reader some time to recover from the more disturbing ones preceding. Most of the stories collected here are from small and specialty press anthologies, with a few from periodicals, like the prestigious Splatterpunk Zine in the UK and Thuglit here in the US. Bizarro is also represented with a couple of tales from the unlikely anthology Blood For You: A Literary Tribute To GG Allin from Weirdpunk Books. (If you're not familiar with the late GG Allin, you can find snippets from some of his outrageous and obscene punk shows online, which will increase your appreciation of those two tales.) So for now, forget about that neighbor you suspect is a serial killer, don't worry about the drunk driver that could take you out on your next trip to the store, push those troubling news stories to the back of your mind and immerse yourself in the imaginary horrors at hand. But don't be surprised if you sense something dark staring back at you from between the lines. That is to be expected when you enter these forbidding realms. With any luck, you may find something useful to help you survive the approaching Apocalypse.
