A Brand-New Extreme Horror Novel From the Twisted Mind That Brought You Woom. Revenge is on the program at this year's Splatterfest convention! Horror authors, critics and fans from all over the world have gathered to share stories, enjoy each other's company, and to take part in the yearly Gross Out contest, a fan favorite. But some attendees have arrived with ulterior motives. Clay Kayden, whose story at the last in-person Gross Out contest got him "canceled," wants to tear down the convention from the inside. Moira Mead is desperate to impress her favorite horror director, who's promised to option a story based on the weekend's readings. And Clay's former mentor, Guest of Honor David Ennis, just wants to find his muse again... no matter the cost. In a weekend filled with violence and horror, no one will be spared from trauma, and only one author can reign supreme. (Gross Out features characters and situations from the novella, Woom. While this not a direct sequel, it does continue Shyla and Angel's story from that fateful night in Room 6 of the Lonely Motel.)WARNING: Do not buy this book if you have a weak stomach, if you're easily disturbed, or if you're looking for a light horror read. THIS IS NOT THAT BOOK. Seriously. You've been warned.
I'll start with this, this is Splatterpunk Horror (I think, I'll eventually figure out these subgenres). It's not for the faint of heart. Read at your own risk.
I love the SK references in this book 😻. Just needed to get that out of the way.
This book was so much fun. It was gross for sure, but I've never had a horror make me laugh so much in my life 😹.
Ralston has absolutely captured the cliques in the literary world flawlessly. And I can absolutely see a convention of Gross Out's sort being just as outrageous and unhinged as this book. Makes me want to experience a convention even more lol.
I hope Duncan's muse brings him back to the Lonely Motel. These were the first books of his I've read and I wasn't disappointed. Still not scared and a little more grossed out than I was yesterday, but he's definitely gained a fan for life.
I give this book 5 of 5 Paws.
Great Read! Possible triggers, not for everyone!

I personally loved it. This is for lovers of splatter punk, NOT the weak. The ending was WILD & definitely unexpected!
