Incredibly fun and chilling!
If you like Tales from the Crypt you will enjoy this anthology.
The stories were very strong and didn't leave loose ends. Many times I could not sleep because I HAD to finish the story. Truly if you like your horror sexy with humor, you will have a good time reading this.
This book could be triggering for some, so please check your trigger warnings, especially those relating to sexual violence.

What a weird and wild ride! Full of debauchery, gore and…Santa? I really enjoyed this read, it’s erotic splatterpunk bizzaro, with a heavy emphasis on sex and death. The highlight stories from this collection are Santa’s Package, Horrorgasm and #deadsealchallenge, but all of the works had something nauseating and exhilarating to offer.

The collection has 6 shorter stories and 2 longer, it was broken up nicely so it would make for a quick one sitting read or split into before bed stories for the week… if you dare to have some pretty messed up dreams.

I know of S.C. Mendes, his novel The City being one of my favourite books ever, and I’m so happy to be introduced to the works of Nikki Noir, the two have blended disgustingly for this piece of work- which is perfect.

Thank you to Blood Bound Books and S.C. Mendes for the ARC of this awesome bloodbath, I am excited to read more from both authors!

If you are a fan of splatterpunk erotica and bizzaro reads, be sure not to miss this one!

Got this book for review on Netgally.

It was a great collection of stories and I enjoyed them all in one way or another. My favorite ones where the one aboy the cam girl and the other with santa. Very weird, disgusting but fun read and each story was diffrent and I didn't alphabet any I didn't like.

These stories were weird, gory, disgusting, and disturbing. I saw someone raving about this online and curiosity got the better of me. Now here we are. Some of these stories are ones that will stick with you, they're so bizzare. The Santa's Package story elicited laughter and horror. I told someone about that story and the look on their face was priceless.

Needless to say, this collection won't be for everyone. If you aren't into splatterpunk or you don't like your horror infused with erotic themes and dark humor, then this collection won't be for you. That's ok.

For those that enjoy their horror a bit over the top, then dive in for stories about:
A drug deal gone wrong, Santa's gift, a horror themed cam girl show, a possible zombie outbreak, a love potion gone wrong, kappas, and more.

My favorite stories were #deadsealchallenge, Magick Brew, and Cucumbers and Comforters.

This collection may be ideal for someone dipping their toes into the splatterpunk genre. It's not the most disturbing thing out there and there's humor woven into the stories too. Better yet, recommend this to someone and then get their reaction. It's bound to be interesting.
