Here's what FANGORIA had to say about a few of the tales: "Harper Hull's shocker "Amy Lou's Ice Cream Parlor" is an absolute sucker punch to the gut. Hull drags us down into the spectral depths of his protagonist's heartbreaking depravity-and never brings us back. Discovering this story at the tail end of the collection is just about enough to justify the entire purchase price. Hull is not alone. Desmond Warzel's "The Elephant in the Marble" allows the reader to rubberneck through his narrator's own compellingly hazy drug-induced demise. Craig Saunders' "The Hole in the Fence" strikes its own confident balance between character and concept, while the sheer dissoluteness of Barry Napier's "Lunatic Mile" deserves mention for tapping the reader's gag reflex rather than just settling for a simple gag."  Contents include stories by: Adrian Ludens; Pete Mesling; Jenna M. Pitman; Matthew Moore; Jessy Marie Roberts; G. Winston Hyatt; Monique Bos; Stephanie Kincaid; Desmond Warzel; David Bernstein; Bryan Oftedahl; Keith J. Scales; Stephen Hill; Craig Saunders; Murphy Edwards; Michael Hughes; Lawrence Conquest; Joshua Scribner; Piper Morgan; Lawrence Salani; Lee Clark Zumpe; Barry Napier; Kendra Lisum; Brendan P. Myers; Brian Barnett; Brick Marlin; Deena Lyvang; Kevin Brown; Harper Hull; Robert Essig and E.R. Delafield.  HorrorNews.net says: "Creepy, macabre subject matter fills the pages of Blood Bound Books first anthology. Night Terrors 31 tales of horror ranging from stories of serial killers, to monsters, to evil itself. There are stories here to satisfy anyone's palate and quench anyone's thirst for blood and gore."

"Blood Bound Books has a real hit on their hands with this collection." - Monster Librarian  Until now, these were the creatures that only crawled through the darkest corners of your mind. The ones you refused to name for fear they'd become real. And now, thanks to this book, they are. Unspeakable is twenty four stories filled with things that should not be. They may dwell in mountains or under water. In deep forests or windblown deserts. Perhaps they lurk in the shadows of your very own home. But regardless of origin, these ancient, nameless beasts are awake and they want you.

Seasons in the Abyss

DiBuduo, Joe

The birth of evil…
In 2017, Splatterpunk masters Bentley Little, John Skipp Jack Ketchum and Edward Lee united in an extreme horror masterpiece, resulting in our largest and best-selling anthology to date.
However, the origin story of Blood Bound Books’ extreme reputation began here...
With cover art inspired by a 90's Slayer T-shirt and brought to life by the Maggotmeister Andrej Bartolovic, D.O.A. is twenty-eight stories of offensive, repulsive, and disturbing content.
Like an underground mix tape of from your favorite death metal bands, D.O.A. is raw and gritty, and the beginning of something epic.
WARNING: This anthology contains 28 stories of violence, sexual depravity, self-degradation, and other dark subjects taken to an extreme you've never read before. If consumed, please consult a mortician.

Extreme Horror Anthology,” the fast-paced prose is always there and the gore, sex and violence are almost always unrelenting and intense." - HorrorphiliaThis book took 5th place in Preditors &amp; Editors Poll for best antholoy of 2011 and takes horror to an extreme you’ve never read before. Author Kenneth Yu will introduce you to a disturbing interest that two men in the Philippines share, while Edward R. Rosick reveals the true location of the soul. Readers will journey from plague-ridden ships off England’s coast to the viscous barrios of Mexico. But remember, this book is not for the easily sickened or offended. You’ve been warned.

Mike and Dwain are Foley artists for the porn industry in the famed San Fernando Valley. After meeting an amputee porn star, the guys decide to make their own movies portraying a wide variety of "monsters." While Mike wants to make tastefully erotic films featuring abnormally shaped performers, Dwain sees greater profits on the horizon if they push "Freak Porn" to its nauseating extreme.      "Monster Porn is beautifully written, descriptive to the Nth degree, with a shocking twist that will leave you gasping for air." - Brandon Wilkinson, Author of Memoirs of the Messed Up Minds

"What the authors and Blood Bound books have delivered is a double slice of horror very reminiscent of a grindhouse exploitation film or a hybrid graphic novel. The cover illustration is worthy of devotion whilst the stories themselves deliver exactly what is promised." - HellNotes 
 "The boogeymen that inhabit the pages of Scarecrow &amp; The Madness come from no supernatural plane of existence. Instead, they come from the scariest place on earth: the human mind. These tales take place in our world with no hint of assistance from other worldly forces, which is what makes them both so wonderfully diabolical." -Patrick D'Orazio, Author of The Dark Trilogy 
 SCARECROW - It’s holiday weekend in the English Fens, the long weekend. The Gypsies are passing through and setting up camp in the nearby fields. Madge can’t understand all the fuss, can’t understand that gypsies are their own kind of people; people are just people. But Madge and her husband, Bernie, are about to learn something about people when they meet the Mulrones, and if they aren’t careful, it just might become the longest weekend of their lives.

 All Tony wanted was to get out of Colorado, or even just to his house, before the storm hit. All Dan wanted was to quiet that little tickle in the back of his brain—the one he couldn’t quite itch without the help of a bottle—and keep things the way they were with his family. But when the biggest snow storm since the blizzard of 2003 brings these men together, nobody’s going to get what they want. And before the storm blows over, both men will be in a struggle for their lives, and sanity. Who will survive THE MADNESS? 
 "Suspenseful, bloody, and shocking, you will find yourself unable to put the book down until you’ve finally reached the end. The Madness will leave you breathless, angry and very wary of snowstorms and what they may bring." -Hellnotes review of The Madness 
 "Scarecrow and the Madness is a wonderful hybrid approach to publishing, the print version of one of those Creature Double-Features I recall so fondly from my youth." - Greogory L. Norris, Author of The Q Guide to Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Just when you thought it was safe to crawl back into bed . . . we’ve got a new set or terrors! If Night Terrors made you pray for dawn, Volume II will send you into total madness. Step inside the secret chambers of the Vatican and experience the dark side of the papal elections. Meet people only a mother could love; listen to the dead speak, and even more disturbing, hear them cry. Discover the darkness that lives inside the hearts of man, and hide from other worldly tormentors . . . and, if you manage to wake up after these night terrors . . . you’ll wake up dead!
"In conclusion, various , good new authors to watch and an interesting imprint to which we’d better keep an eye on in the future." British Fantasy Society
"Overall, one particular strength of “Night Terrors II” is that the writers all understand the importance of atmosphere, creating a sense of dread through character, setting and language, rather than leaning on gore. There are some shocking jolts and graphic violence—the authors don’t shy away from it—but they are just that, punctuations within an already well crafted motif of terror." - The Horror Review
