Extremely Weird Splatter: Bonus Resources
Reviews
Feel the love from The Horror Tree!
“…at the end of the day, this gathering of tales doesn’t just want to shock you—it wants you to sit with why it worked.
I give it five ravens, and if you are into themes such as weird sex, magic, self-splatter, splatter production and/or weird trips, then so will you.”
—Luc Dantes

 | “Overall, it’s a fun, nasty little collection with plenty of variety. If you like your horror with a side of blood, nightmares, and questionable life choices, this one has you covered. Basically; open the jar, grab a spoon, and enjoy the horror!” |
| “Such a dark, fun, but disturbing journey this collection was. From weird mc’s to straight up wild body horror and even some life lessons. This is a must read for lovers of all this grimy, dark, grotesque, unique and straight up gory.” |
| “Such a fun EH anthology mixed with some weird themes!” |
| “If you’re into extreme gore and body horror, this is definitely a must read.” |

THE STORIES
“The Copper Merchant”
QUOTE: “My story has violence, it has torture, it has far too many leeches, but I don’t think any of these things pack a punch without trying to address something. When people are “othered,” they can feel like their existence/baseline behaviour is transgressing against something, breaking some kind of unspoken rule, or generally isolating them from society—it’s a rather unpleasant feeling, and finding ways to overcome it can be empowering. That’s what’s at the core here, I think.”
Exclusive Interview:
“Sam the Cat”
QUOTE: “If I get to choose the person and have legal immunity, I’m going to skin somebody.”

“Scenarios”
QUOTE: “My goal is to scare someone to the point of wetting themselves, though a month of nightmares would be a win.”
Exclusive Interview:
“The Weight of the Dark”
QUOTE: “[I] let the story be extreme because the story needs it and not because I must shoehorn it for the shock value.”
Exclusive Interview:
“The Fishhook Prophecy”
QUOTE: “I had a part-time gig for a few months as a crime scene photographer. Mostly boring stuff, but once it was a guy who’d been run over by a train. I still have a pic of his eyeball on the tracks somewhere.”
Exclusive Interviews:
“Highway to Hell Fan”
QUOTE: “I think human existence is kind of like a chocolate cake with vanilla icing. Many people choose not to see past the frosting. But if you dig in past the shiny white sugar, there are so many dark delicious layers. That’s where extremely weird splatter lives. In the dark chocolate layers.”
Exclusive Interview:
“Debbie Does Delos…?”
QUOTE: “Usually, my horror fiction is more on the quiet side, but…”
Exclusive Interview:
“How to Build a Meat Radio”
QUOTE: “I study human remains marked by disease, trauma, malnutrition, and early mortality. It’s an archaeology of the body under stress, of flesh that records violence long after it’s gone. Across different periods, the patterns repeat: exploitation, coercion, suffering embedded in bone. Slavery, labor, power imposed on the body. These are not abstract ideas: they leave marks. That perspective shapes my writing.”
Exclusive Interview:
“Adoration of Evil”
QUOTE: “I don’t always bring the goo, but I can, and I like to do it when the story moves in that direction.”
Exclusive Interviews:
“What They Deserve”
QUOTE: “Oh, we humans are, by far and always, the worst monsters.”
Exclusive Interview:
“Portal”
QUOTE: “In some cases, there are childhood events that lead to such acts, but there are also some people who, in my opinion, are just born monsters.”
Exclusive Interview:
“Symmetry”
QUOTE: “To be honest, the only technique I use is to keep writing… and see if it gets under my skin.”
Exclusive Interviews:
“A Parent Sacrifices”
QUOTE: “…the sublime in the hideousness of relatable occurrences is… in a lot of my work… I think of horror as an exploration, especially of what we don’t want to talk about directly.”
Exclusive Interview:
“On the Fringes”
QUOTE: “For me, splatter and the weird go together like strawberries and ice cream.”
Exclusive Interviews:
“MySkin EverFlesh”
QUOTE: “I’ve always enjoyed the weirdness of things like Eraserhead, Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Tetsuo: The Iron Man. Mix that with an appreciation for deathmatch wrestling, and you get a pretty good primer for Extremely Weird Splatter.“
Exclusive Interview:
“Dermis”
QUOTE: “When your experience is pushed to the extreme, when especially the horror of the body and what can happen to it is invoked, I think you naturally enter the realm of the weird.”
Exclusive Interview:
“Soup”
QUOTE: “I’ve always been drawn to transgressive stories, particularly those that are profound, layered, and/or shed light on harsh truths and brutal realities.”
Exclusive Interview:
“My Love, Like Moss, Envelops You”
QUOTE: “In case you can’t tell, I’m just writing whatever the fuck I want, genre and branding be damned. I’m sure I’ll settle into one genre eventually, but for now, I just close my eyes and let the stories come to me.”
Exclusive Interviews:
“The Architect of the Soft Circuit”
QUOTE: “I focus on how horror can carry emotional and philosophical weight beyond shock value.”
