The Birth of WOOM...
The savvier among you may have noticed I’ve got a new book out today, an extreme psychological horror novel from Matt Shaw Publications called WOOM. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with Matt Shaw, and very pleased with the results.
But this isn’t my normal style of book. Sure, I’ve written some brutal scenes in the past. But this is a Black Cover book. For THE Matt Shaw! It’s “edgy” (whatever the hell that means). It’s dark. It’s twisted and nasty and all of the things you’d expect of an “extreme” horror book. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart, and guaranteed to creep the hell out of you.
It might even make you sick to your stomach*.
“Trust me when I tell you, this is messed up.” - Matt Shaw, Author of Sick B*stards
Woom: An extreme horror
Synopsis:
The Lonely Motel holds many dark secrets… and Room 6 just might hold the worst of them all. Angel knows a lot about pain. His mother died in this room. He's researched its history. He's come back today to end it, no matter the cost, once and for all. Prostitute Shyla believes the stories Angel tells her can't be true. Secrets so vile, you won't want to let them inside you. But the Lonely Motel doesn't forget. It doesn't forgive. And it always claims its victim.
"I thought I had seen and heard it all until now." - Robin Lee, Amazon Top 100 Reviewer
Woom: An extreme horror
More about the book:
WOOM is part mystery, part psychological horror, part transgressive fiction. While writing WOOM, I thought of it as a mutant child of Chuck Palahniuk, Lars Von Trier, Black Mirror (the “White Christmas” episode), and THE Matt Shaw’s Porn.
"WOOM makes The 120 Days of Sodom seem like a palate cleanser." - Charles Scott, Author of Inversion
Woom: An extreme horror
More reviews:
"It’s an excellent example of some of the exciting dark fiction being written today and a tale that will leave a lasting impression on any horror fan brave enough to read it." - Adrian Shotbolt, Beavis the Bookhead
"Woom is a novel that achieves a lot in a very short amount of time. It's complex and surprising from start to finish. It's also truly horrifying - but in the best way possible." - Adiba Jaigidar, Cultured Vultures
"Don’t puff out your chest, down that plastic cup of beer and shout, ‘I can take it!’ It’s going to be a rougher ride than you might think. This book’s does not only cross boundaries, it annihilates them." - Alex Kimmill, Author of The Idea of North, for Confessions of a Reviewer
