WHAT IS SPLATTERPUNK?
If you want to understand what makes splatterpunk so different from the horror that came both before and after, your best bet is to read the authors who pioneered the form. It wasn't just the visceral intensity of their literary assaults on convention. All the key writers - Clive Barker, Joe R. Lansdale, David J. Schow, and John Skipp and Craig Spector - were ferocious stylists, with original voices that completely stood out from the crowd.
In THIS IS SPLATTERPUNK: THE JOHN SKIPP PRIMER, you'll find 15 of Skipp's most powerful, passionate, unbridled, and influential splatterpunkian short stories, from his early years in
Twilight Zone
magazine to the present day.
Skipp also includes a definitive essay on the history and core elements of the movement - which he defines more as a "spontaneous eruption of the arts" - with additional notes on each story, for context.
But mostly, it's about Skipp's unflinching empathy - his ability to put you inside the skins of his characters, make you feel what they feel every speck of the way - that makes THIS IS SPLATTERPUNK: THE JOHN SKIPP PRIMER an essential read for lovers of fearless fiction, and the perfect companion piece to his film.
