Read Komor’s short story “The Vacuum Castrator” in Horrific Scribes.

Description: After a man grows frustrated with his vacuum cleaner, which keeps impregnating other machines in the neighborhood, he seeks out an old woman from his childhood—one with a terrifying talent. She can castrate anything (and we mean anything) using only her mouth. But as the severed remains pile up, even the Almighty Himself may not be safe from her wrath.
