[Doc Faustus]

Menstruation? Infantile gay sexuality? Feh. Try some Bizarro. Sabre's Call by Troy Chambers makes everything you describe look like The Backyardigans. A seven year old is sodomized by the Marquis De Sade and several other characters and that's about the most tasteful part. Apeshit by Carlton Mellick features a character who's an abortion fetishist. My book Murderland 2: Life During Wartime contains a human pinata and a dead alien baby is dismembered and flushed down a toilet. But for actually disturbing, I would give it up for my publisher Matthew Revert's book A Million Versions of Right. The stories in here are obscene and some of the most chilling stuff I've encountered in my life. The Great Headphone Wank might sound like a funny, dirty title but it's actually quite terrifying. For classic horror, I would say Ray Bradbury's story The Small Assassin, which always leaves me trembling each time I read it and Robert W. Chambers' The King in Yellow. Pleased to meet you, Dean. Hope you stick around. I'd like to see other authors hanging out here discussing the genre and enriching the community.
