Splatterpunk's Basement of Horror by Jack Bantry

dark mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Splatterpunk's Basement of Horror should have something to please every splatterpunk fan. There are some real heavy hitters included in the collection, and I enjoyed all but one of the stories.
