Really Disturbing Stuff

Any additional comments?

Very rarely does anything horror bother me but this collection was particularly disturbing in a way that might just be purposely gratuitous. That said, it IS called "Stiff Things: The Splatterporn Anthology" and that really says it all. These are sexually disgusting tales where people frequently die. If you're into that kind of thing, you'll love this book! Joe Hempel is an amazing narrator and never fails to deliver - he makes this gross book worth listening to!

I Knew It Was Splatter Porn When I Chose It.

Splatter is a sub-genre of horror that deliberately focuses on graphic gore and violence. Splatter porn adds an additional element of explicit, hardcore sex. “Stiff Things” is an anthology of splatter porn stories and delivers exactly what the book title advertises. I knew splatter porn wasn’t exactly my cup of tea before acquiring this book, but for some reason, I was curious. With that said, even though “Stiff Things” was not for me, I think it will be well received by those who like this genre. The stories are well conceived. There are some good plot twists. Some of the stories are more disturbing than others, but all deliver plenty of splatter porn for the aficionado.

Joe Hempel narrates this anthology and does a great job. Based on the number of books I have in my collection that he has narrated, I believe Mr. Hempel he can do pretty much any genre and or style.

All-in-all, if this genre of story is your cup of tea, I think you’ll like “Stiff Things.” Finally, this audio book was provided by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an honest review, courtesy of Audio Book Boom.

Some twisted authors-Erotic Horror

Any additional comments?

I don’t even know where to begin there is some really twisted stories in here that will leave you with your mouth hung open and brain saying there is no way I heard that right. This is horror at its finest leaving you no doubt there are some really twisted people out there and hoping praying you never meet them.  When the narrator posted he was looking for reviews “PM ME IF YOU DARE” he typed…okay you got my attention. I ask how you can you turn down a dare like that…NOT ME… I really didn’t have a clue what I just requested but it didn’t take me long to tell myself maybe we are in a little too deep here. From the start of the story there is no doubt this is hard core porn and I said to my self- self are you really going to listen to this. Self said a promise is a promise so yes we are. That lead me to looks of horror, thinking OH MY GOD that is nasty, really, wow didn’t see that coming, to shock as well as shaking in my shoes…okay maybe not the shaking part but I know I never want to meet any of these people. You have been warned…read on if you dare.

Mr. Hempel my hats off to you for the outstanding narration of this book. I am sure you set with your legs crossed and hands over your lap a time or two as you worked your way through this story. I had no trouble at all feeling the excitement of each character at the build up for some thrilling exciting sex scenes. You even had me feeling sorry for mankind and wanting to pull a few people right out of the pages as they took on the pleasure and then the pain when the end was clear. I found his character voices to be wonderful you have no trouble knowing who is talking, or how much pleasure they are in along with how much pain they feel along with the excitement the deliver is feeling as they bring the pleasure and pain on. There were no background noise (if there had been I would most likely have jumped out of my car running for my life) nor any places where the volume was louder than any other place in the audio. What this narrator gives you is clean, crisp, clear audio that will leave you shaking your head. You have no trouble visualizing what he has just given you it is very vivid that you become so invested you might forget where you where you are and what you are doing. I really wish I could give more than 5 Stars the narration was outstanding.

The first story starts out they are looking for some action as they have a few VERY HOT scenes with their selves. They finally found one to take up the call went home and got it on for everyone on the net as you yourself think oh and not in a good way. You think what are these people thinking and then you find out. As I was almost to work the audio left me speechless with my mouth hung open think no way that just happened. Yep Yep it did and lord they aren’t done. I had to set in my car listening until the end came still leaving me speechless. I have to honestly say this title fits the book in more ways than one. It will not be the first of these stories that will leave you speechless there are a few. Some I didn’t really care for it was a little hard to understand what the author was trying to show you but horror no doubt is in there. Others will leave you so shocked you won’t be able to talk leaving you looking straight ahead with eyes blinking afraid to face just what happened. Some are nasty beyond nasty and some will make you want to upchuck. This is one book that is filled with psychosexual horror that will leave men with their legs crossed and pulling back into their selves wishing they could run but to afraid to move. It will leave women shaking in horror wanting to run the other way. If you love horror and erotic take the dare and pick this up you will never see humans the same again. I know I am keeping an eye on those around me and I don’t think I will be making any new friends anytime soon. Lol This is just too horrible and to nasty but I bet it will stick with you for a long time. It’s not an audio for the weak there are some very vivid details that you won’t even have to close your eyes to see. I am still shaking my head. Words cannot do justice to some of these stories….

Wow

Lots of short stories which I think is great. They range from mild to WAY out there. A few of the stories I had trouble following at first, but that could be because I was just coming from another story.

Edward Lee worthy

Although not written by Edward Lee it was very comparable. Gory, explicit, sickening at times, just down right wrong on many levels! I ,however enjoy these kind of stories tremendously so was thrilled. My only complaint is that it ended so soon, I wanted more stories! Splatterporn is the only fitting name so if that gross or offensive to you , don't read this. This book was gifted to me by the author for an honest review and I loved it but, I guess I'm a little twisted :-). Happy readings.

Sadistic Erotic Horror

This is not your typical horror. As I was expecting by the title and cover it contained hardcore porn. The stories were all different and good and the narration was great. It has it all rape, guts, gore, monsters and lots of fluid exchange. Definitively not for everyone especially faint of heart recommend to anyone who enjoys disgusting stories similar to Matt Shaw.
