Year's Best Hardcore Horror Volume 3

Comet Press is extremely proud to present its third annual anthology featuring this year's hardcore corps of authors with the best extreme horror fiction of 2017 that breaks boundaries and trashes taboos.

It was a killer year for horror fiction of the harder kind. Authors, editors and publishers presented readers with some startling works of horrific imagination, stories graphic in the extreme yet with subtleties suggesting larger meanings, tales that explore humanity by plumbing depths of soulless inhumanity and, in some cases, outright depravity. The stories here represent the best of them, disturbing tales that dig deep and take you into the dark heart of horror itself, unrelenting and unapologetic.

â€œSo Sings The Sirenâ€ by Annie Neugebauer takes us onto a Dark Fantasy stage for a one-night-only performance of mythological torture. Then Ryan Hardingâ€™s â€œJunkâ€ gets right to the hardcore stuff with the ultimate dick-pic horror tale. Robert Levyâ€™s â€œThe Cenacleâ€ is a literary cemetery feast you may have a hard time stomaching (Tums wonâ€™t save you).

Nathan Ballingrudâ€™s â€œThe Mawâ€ treads surefootedly on Sci-Fi ground, right up to the edge of the Maw itself in a tale of stunning originality. Luciano Marano made his first pro sell when he sold â€œBurntâ€ to DOA III, certainly one of the yearâ€™s best anthologies, and the tale has it own fiery fetishistic twist.

â€œThe Better Part of Drowningâ€ by Octavia Cade treads waters of both science fiction and fantasy but itâ€™s pure horror at its biting depths. Tim Waggonerâ€™s â€œTil Deathâ€ is Lovecraftian Post-Apocalypse horror at its absolute best.

â€œLetter From Hellâ€ comes with that special delivery you only get from Matt Shaw. Dani Brown gets down and very dirty in her â€œTheatrum Mortuum,â€ which may be the most extreme thing you read all year.

Glenn Grayâ€™s â€œBreakâ€ is a hard-to-take anatomy lesson given to a man weary of doing hard time. In â€œBernadetteâ€ Ramiro Perez de Pereda gets medieval in his tale of a djinn summoned by a desperate priest.

Brian Hodge takes you on a trip to Mexico you will never forget in â€œWest of Matamoros, North of Hell.â€ This story is a masterpiece of suspense, a grueling experience that may well leave you exhausted by the end. You might even feel like a vacation afterward, but weâ€™re betting it wonâ€™t be to Matamoros.

Bracken MacLeodâ€™s â€œReprising Her Roleâ€ takes us behind the scenes of a porno snuff film for a gut-wrenching reprisal and unexpected bonus footage.

A real-life death threat inspired Doug Fordâ€™s â€œThe Watcherâ€ and we think it shows. â€œScratching From The Outer Darknessâ€ showcases Tim Curranâ€™s descriptive prowess and gives you a tale of hardcore Cthulhu Mythos.

Brace yourself when Adam Howeâ€™s â€œForeign Bodiesâ€ takes you deep into the bowels of a nasty abyssâ€”which might make a good echo chamber for the laughter Adamâ€™s patented black humor is likely to elicit.

Sean Patrick Hazlett introduces us to â€œAdramelech,â€ an ancient demon with a taste for broiled children. Daniel Marc Chantâ€™s â€œULTRAâ€ jacks into a popular VR game called Slut Slayer. But what if itâ€™s more than a game?

Nathan Robinson takes us into the trees with a group of militant environmentalists who will discover a tree hugger of the deadly sort, entirely alien to their experience.

Scott Smith (A Simple Plan and The Ruins) wraps up this yearâ€™s fat package of the hard stuff in a big bloody bow with â€œThe Dogs.â€ The canines in this tale are not Manâ€™s Best Friend variety, nor are they Womanâ€™s Besties, as you will see.

Thanks for coming along into this yearâ€™s heart of hardcore darkness. We hope to see you on the other side.
